An unused rooftop above a beautifully restored former bakery became a welcoming garden for the team at Deans Civil Engineering. Gaia designed and delivered the entire terrace, transforming an inaccessible space into a place to relax and gather.

After transforming a crumbling old bakery into modern offices, Deans wanted to make use of the empty rooftop.
The challenge? There was no direct access. An entrance had to be created through a first-floor corridor window, making the delivery of materials and large trees particularly tricky.
Gaia designed the entire rooftop terrace, specifying fire-resistant decking, screening, lighting, furniture, planters and a carefully selected mix of trees and plants.
Getting everything onto the roof was an adventure in itself, especially the large, heavy trees that barely fitted through the new entrance.
What was once an unused rooftop became a lush outdoor retreat where the team could enjoy lunch, relax and spend time together.
The planting softened the surrounding architecture and brought new life to the space, creating a garden that would continue to develop over time.
