Preliminary Objectives:
Incorporate natural greenery in a functional way to accentuate the luxurious rooftop pool deck of this high-end development.
Known for contrasting industrial buildings against rows of colorful historic homes on tree-lined streets, Buckman is a charming, artsy neighborhood in the Central Eastside of Portland with amazing nightlife and a burgeoning culinary scene.
The mission of Memoir Buckman is to create inspired residential experiences. And with the addition of this rooftop project, we’d say Mission Accomplished.
PureModern planters enabled the client to successfully:
Establish “experience vignettes” that can simultaneously and comfortably accommodate several groups within the open space of the rooftop pool deck.
Develop a natural green wall that creates a cozy, private feel between the pool and seating areas.
Complement the industrial character of the surrounding neighborhood and the meticulous interior decor of the property.
Custom Solution:
Connect Modular Planters and benches in marine-grade aluminum were powder-coated in matte black to create a usable and functional space on this rooftop pool deck.
Coria Landscape contacted PureModern for a quote on custom planters for a rooftop project that wasn’t going well with another manufacturer. Since parts of the project could be modified (e.g., benches and lighting options), the client asked us to value engineer a new solution to achieve a better cost.
The 132 units at Memoir Buckman are high-end and the property is luxuriously appointed. As such, we helped work through the client’s requests for value engineering to uncover innovative ways to stay within budget without compromising on quality for this rooftop deck. And that’s exactly what we did:
Lights now add ambient light to ensure safe walking during the evening.
Plus, we modified the client’s initial idea for including cantilevered benches, which can be quite expensive. Our team suggested adding metal boxes that can accommodate wood and/or cushions on top (to be added by the client) for additional comfort and aesthetic appeal. The client was happy with this option since the strategy was more economical and we were able to maintain the design quality and visual appeal of the benches.
Constructed from marine-grade aluminum, the bottomless planters and metal benches in the project are highly functional while also providing exceptional durability.
Project Success:
Custom planters with lush greenery add depth and elegance to this already stunning rooftop experience.
As guests sit six stories up — whether in cozy planter bench arrangements or in the pool surrounded by custom planters and natural elements — they now enjoy panoramic views of downtown Portland, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and the Willamette River while experiencing residential luxury in a truly unique way.
Don’t just take our word for it. Guests opting to stay in one of the Air BNB units even cite the “beautiful rooftop patio” when rating Memoir Buckman 5 out of 5 stars.
