Urban Jungle Designs

We designed this balcony to be an extension of the home, an outdoor space visible from the main gathering rooms, the kitchen, the dining area and the living room. Custom fabricated Urban Jungle planters define the space, each with an integrated LED strip light to create a warm evening glow. Beneath each planter, a concealed stainless steel drain pan collects and directs water to a discreet discharge point, protecting the deck while keeping the infrastructure invisible. The seasonal plant palette echos the colors and textures throughout the interior, allowing the landscape to become part of the home’s overall design language. Tall perimeter planters frame the balcony and provide privacy, a sense of enclosure, and a flowering backdrop for grilling and gathering.

Beautiful landscapes aren’t just planted—they’re engineered. 📏🌱📐

Second story pool deck summer vibes alert. Vibrant colors, long runs of LED lights, and shade structures make this deck a whole lot of fun the warm months. The Americana was a significant project for us. We started a working relationship with and brought this project to life as we assisted Urban Intent with the design process. We provided materials—soup to nuts—for this project. Street trees, porcelain pavers on pedestals, glass guardrails with LED lights, planters fabricated by Urban Jungle, a motorized pergola, shrubs, and herbaceous flowering plants.

This is what happens when architecture, landscape and craft come together. At One Frankford, we created a public space using corten steel panels on a sloped site using curved edges to navigate the level changes. This is the kind of garden that encourages one to linger and enjoy the flowering trees, compact shrubs, perennials, and the winter hardy colors of the cold tolerant plants.
