Luxury Planters : Veranda Design

Luxury Veranda Design in Vancouver: Elegance and Resilience

For a private residence on the West Coast, Urban Pot transformed a spacious sunroom into a functional, sophisticated living space that withstands Vancouver's cold, rainy winters. This project shows our ability to create custom furniture without compromising aesthetics or durability.

The challenge: A four-season solution for urban gardening

The owner wanted a winter solution to maintain greenery year-round and optimize the space's ergonomics. The challenge was to protect plant roots from moisture and frost while preserving a clean, minimalist design.

Urban Pot engineering: Raised planters and thermal protection

To meet these needs, we designed a system of raised marine-grade aluminum planters on legs:

• Drainage and air circulation: By raising the planters, we facilitate drainage of rainwater and prevent moisture from accumulating under the containers, protecting the veranda covering.

• The 2-inch fold detail: Each unit features a 2-inch top lip, providing structural rigidity and a robust visual finish that perfectly frames vegetation.

• Root insulation: These custom-made planters act as a thermal shield, protecting the roots from the elements throughout the cold season.

Space optimization: custom-designed outdoor kitchen

To complete this outdoor sanctuary, Urban Pot crafted a custom barbecue cabinet. Designed to seamlessly integrate with the veranda's architecture, this aluminum module maximizes every square foot while offering unparalleled resistance to salt corrosion common in Vancouver's environment.
