Rooftop Terrace Design · Palm Beach
From Worth Avenue to Jupiter Island
Berlin-based manufactory delivering rooftop terrace concepts to Palm Beach's most discerning Estate Section oceanfront mansions and island estates, with plant design, outdoor kitchens and wellness architecture under one curatorial hand.
Why Palm Beach is different
Atlantic salt, hurricane code, and ARCOM precision
Palm Beach rooftops sit on a barrier island under one of the strictest design review regimes in the United States. ARCOM – the Architectural Commission of the Town of Palm Beach – controls every facade detail visible from the public way; the regulation is enforced with care that rivals European heritage authorities. The climate adds its own pressure: hurricane-rated wind loads, hot humid summers, intense UV, salt-laden Atlantic air on every coast-facing site.
We work in this tension daily: with Florida-licensed structural engineers and landscape architects, with ARCOM consultants, and with the lifestyle expectations of clients between Worth Avenue penthouses, Estate Section oceanfront mansions and Jupiter Island estates. Our role is the plant and outdoor lifestyle layer – ecological substrate, tropical-Caribbean curation, and the wellness elements (pool deck, outdoor kitchen, spa) that turn a Palm Beach roof into a year-round sanctuary above the Atlantic.
Our Palm Beach approach
Curated plants, ecological substrate, lifestyle integration
- Symbiosis methodology – mycorrhizal partnerships, effective microorganisms and humus building replace chemical fertilisation under the high-rainfall regime.
- Tropical-Caribbean palette – palms (royal palm, coconut palm, Bismarckia, Sabal), tropical foliage (philodendron, monstera, Strelitzia), flowering accents (bougainvillea, frangipani, hibiscus, ixora), structural specimens (sea grape, gumbo limbo).
- Wellness architecture – pool deck, spa, sauna and outdoor kitchen integration with Atlantic framing.
- Regulation-aware execution – Florida-licensed structural engineers, ARCOM submissions, hurricane-rated planters and fixings.
Areas we serve
Across Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast
Most of our Palm Beach work is concentrated in Estate Section oceanfront mansions, Worth Avenue penthouses and island estates. We also handle select hospitality projects.
How a Palm Beach project unfolds
From first conversation to handover
- 01
Understanding before drawing
Site visit (or detailed remote survey for first conversations from Berlin), discussion of the people and rhythm using the terrace, early constraint mapping (ARCOM, hurricane, salt exposure, structure).
- 02
Concept and curation
A small set of plant compositions, material moodboards, wellness element placement. Always optionality.
- 03
Engineering and permitting
Load calculations with Florida-licensed structural engineer, ARCOM submissions, Town of Palm Beach permitting, hurricane code compliance.
- 04
Installation and handover
Our team installs on site over one to several weeks. Plants are sourced from Florida nurseries and pre-conditioned for the climate. After handover we offer ongoing care subscriptions following the same symbiosis methodology.
Frequently asked
What clients usually want to know first
- Do you work on rooftop terrace projects in Palm Beach?
- Yes. Most of our Palm Beach work is Estate Section oceanfront mansions, Worth Avenue and Midtown penthouses, North End and South Ocean Boulevard residences, plus Jupiter Island and Manalapan estates.
- How do you handle ARCOM and hurricane code?
- With early ARCOM submissions and material specification that respects the public-way silhouette, Florida-licensed structural engineering for hurricane-rated loads, and salt-tolerant tropical plant material.
- How long does a typical Palm Beach project take?
- Between four and twelve months from first conversation to handover. Larger Estate Section mansions often need eight to fourteen months of planning.

The first call is unhurried – understanding before any concept. We travel from Berlin for site visits when the project warrants it.
