Jungles' Miami Rooftop Garden

The dining set by Henry Hall Designs continues the theme of strong horizontal lines, which are used throughout the garden. Lighting on the pergola is by LED Starbrite.

A buffer of lush plantings surrounds the main seating area in Ella Fontanals-Cisnero's rooftop garden, which overlooks Miami's cityscape. Custom powder-coated aluminum planters showcase broad-leaved bromeliads, kalanchoe, and Bulbine frutescens. Sleek-lined Pure seating by Henry Hall Designs reinforces an atmosphere of easy elegance. The floor in the entertaining area consists of gray-brown limestone. 

An aluminum pergola shades the dining area. A wall made of ipê slats conceals an outdoor kitchen.

Landscape architect Raymond Jungles relaxes on steps at one end of the pool. He designed a water wall made of stacked black-pearl basalt as the pool’s backdrop.

Strips of gray granite and gaps filled with pebbles add to the floor’s texture.

Chaises lounges near the pool are by Henry Hall Designs. A botanical installation by Jennifer Davit includes three species of Tillandsia growing on a stainless-steel screen.

Also known as air plants, tillandsias have stiff, narrow leaves that absorb water.

A trio of plantings in powder-coated aluminum containers create a sculptural effect near the garden’s entrance.

The pool surround and decking are made of ipê. A planter features Bulbine frutescens and a small tree, spiny black olive (Bucida spinosa).

The outdoor kitchen includes a gas grill cart by Viking.

Golden creeper, bromeliads, and spiny black olive are among the garden’s low-maintenance plantings.
