Signature projects · Da Silva Lane

A bare roof slab, turned into a private terrace.

A landed home on Da Silva Lane had a wide, empty concrete roof deck baking in the sun. We laid 53 square metres of premium Namgrass across it, threaded a granite stepping-stone path through the lawn and wrapped the base of a jacuzzi, so the whole roof became a soft, green outdoor room, cool underfoot and green every day of the year.

Completed 2013 Da Silva Lane · Singapore Roof terrace · 53 sq m Premium Namgrass
The result

A rooftop lawn that never needs mowing.

Premium Namgrass runs wall to wall across the deck, with a curving granite path set flush into the turf, an outdoor room in the sky that stays green through sun and monsoon alike.

The brief

Turn a hot concrete slab into usable space.

The roof deck was a large, exposed concrete platform, too hot to stand on barefoot and doing nothing for the home. The owners wanted a proper outdoor lounge up there: a jacuzzi, an outdoor shower, a BBQ corner and a wood platform, all tied together by a surface that felt like a real lawn.

Living turf was out, no soil, no easy irrigation and a waterproofed roof to protect. Premium Namgrass gave them the look and feel of grass with none of the weight, watering or drainage headaches.

  • 53 sq m of premium Namgrass laid wall to wall across the roof deck.
  • A granite stepping-stone path set flush into the turf, curving from the doorway to the jacuzzi.
  • Turf wrapped to the jacuzzi, shower and BBQ zone, so the whole deck reads as one lawn.
  • Free-draining build-up that lets rain run to the roof outlets and keeps the waterproofing intact.
Around the terrace

Green from the doorway to the jacuzzi.

A geometric run of granite pavers by the door relaxes into a curving path across the lawn, leading the eye out to the view and the jacuzzi deck.

Why artificial grass on a roof

A lawn a roof can actually carry.

Drains, stays dry

The turf sits on a free-draining base so rain runs straight to the roof outlets. No pooling, no soil washing away, and the waterproofing underneath stays untouched.

Cool and soft underfoot

Where bare concrete radiated heat, the turf is comfortable to stand on barefoot, exactly what you want stepping out of a jacuzzi or lounging in the evening.

No mowing at altitude

No hauling a mower to the roof, no watering, no fertiliser. An occasional brush keeps the pile upright and the deck looks freshly cut all year.

Have a roof deck doing nothing?
