ADD A ROOF TERRACE OR PUBLIC SPACE TO YOUR COMMERCIAL BUISNESS FOR A GREAT USP
With the booming interest in Roof Terrace Gardens, Aralia, Landscape Architects, talk you through why your company could benefit from adding a professionally designed and built roof terrace to your restaurant, bar, commercial property or hotel.
Adding a Roof terrace can also create an interactive and playful element to your business, perfect as a unique selling point to create buzz around your company. Examples of this come from the huge popularity increase in mixology. City bars have benefited from adding mixology bars inset into their restaurants, creating an interactive way for customers to feel involved with the drink making process, and adding a personal touch. Mixologists and bar staff can pick the herbs and garnishes, such as mint, right in front of the guests, adding it to the cocktails in a fresh and fun twist. This really sits well with the desire for fresh ingredients currently trending, as well as providing a fantastic interactive activity that is something for customers to Instagram, Facebook and Tweet about; perfect for attracting new customers and enticing repeat business. In our 2012 RHS Chelsea Flower Show Garden ‘Rooftop Workplace of Tomorrow’ we added a tea tree, where staff or customers could pick their tea leaves straight from the garden.
Adding a contemporary outside bar or kitchen is also a fresh twist on the classic bar or restaurant, creating a real talking point. Not only does it mean you can pick the herbs and food straight from the garden, it also creates a beautiful backdrop for your visitors that will tempt them to stay for that extra drink. Aralia featured this in our RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2009 Garden ‘Freshly Prepped’. Here we incorporated an outdoor bar and kitchen where people could select herbs and salad straight from the green wall to make salads.
Roof terraces cannot just benefit you and your company, but the environment too. By adding an outdoor urban kitchen or roof terrace to your restaurant, your company can get on board with the ‘Farm-to-table’ trend that is sweeping the world. Customers are looking for healthy, fresh, sustainably grown food, and urban gardening and roof terraces allows exactly this. Adding a roof terrace to your business is great branding as it is part of the Green Marketing trend, cultivating positive PR for your business. This is also applicable for residential properties, where adding a site of urban agriculture can reduce your developments urban footprint. By adding a Green Wall or Living Roof, like Aralia did at our RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012 Garden, you are giving back to the environment, as well as creating a a stunning focal feature for your roof terrace.
