Record 1 2012-02-16

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
DEF

A type of garden often found on the roof of some apartment or condominium towers.

Key term(s)
  • private penthouse garden

French

Domaine(s)
  • Architecture paysagère
CONT

Le jardin en terrasse dispose d'un volume de terre restreint, aussi doit-il se contenter d'une flore peu exigeante. (Ici lauriers-roses, plantes grasses et plantes vivaces.) Les petites espèces vivaces seront plantées en bordure, tandis que les plantes grimpantes, souvent très résistantes, habilleront les murs. Quelques jardinières ou potiches fleuries, un bassin-miroir, un carrelage bicolore ou un dallage monochrome sont autant d'éléments susceptibles de rendre plus accueillante cette pièce de plein air.
