The home of the Cardiff School of Creative and Cultural Industries, the Atrium, features several complex shapes and contours and is furnished in striking pure white cladding supplied by Euroclad.
Phil Cook, Managing Director of Euroclad comments; "The Chelsea Flower Show attracts 160,000 visitors and is the ultimate garden show of the year, so it's a great opportunity to showcase the versatility of Euroclad's products".
"With an estimated 20,000 hectares of flat roofing in the UK, rooftop gardens are a great way of utilising otherwise 'wasted space' and can help the environment".
Barry Mayled added; "This is a fun, environmentally friendly garden which is designed to soften a harsh environment while allowing occupants to explore the wonders of the night sky".
"The inspiration behind this garden is mankind's fascination with astronomy".
Euroclad has provided its LINEAR ALPOLIC panels and bespoke LINEAR fabrications both in sleek black for the Sky at Night garden which has a number of benefits over traditional flat roofs.
The garden can be enjoyed during the day providing elevated views in an urban environment.
It also transforms into a mini-observatory at night for the amateur astronomer. Request a free brochure from Euroclad ...
