Now that the roof of the house is accessible it is beginning to be used quite a lot, even though we still have a few of our solar panels up there. Carolyn Teo, who has been staying here this week, took this photo and was proud to be first to sunbathe on the roof.
The question now is how best to landscape and furnish this area. Deck chairs sound like a stylish addition. A shade sail or canopy of some sort could be good. And a rooftop bar is definitely on the cards. Using succulents as the main plantings here will be a practical landscaping solution as they require little water and will love the bright sunlight.

There are several ways of using succulents in a roof garden. The traditional way would be to grow them in pots. But perhaps a more interesting approach would be to create a "green roof", covering significant areas of the roof with a growing medium and planting it like a garden bed. More on "green rooves" soon.
