wtf? dude if the roof design is not safe for children they damn well have a right to complain. If a kid falls and the conclusion was had they designed it right the child would not of fallen, i think the company would get done.

A roof garden is never going to be 100% safe unless you remove the feature or box it in completely with wire mesh. How about the parents discipline their children to act sensibly near the wall or maintain parental supervision heaven forbid? Its not as if there was no safety barrier in the design! I feel that roof gardens are vital and need to be encouraged rather than become another mythically dangerous piece of modern living.

Terrible aint it. Roof gardens are fantastic. Can't they have some form of railings that fairly young children can't get over but that allow the garden users to still be able to see easily and aren't too restrictive?

What it would be like to live here?
Does anyone know anything about the area in general, like crime, pollution and whatnot?

Click on 'My hobby' on the left. You can then click on the button to the lower left of the render to get a bigger, better version... but it still doesnt look as good as it did in paint though...

Is everything in the right place?
