The latest installation continues a strategy designed to keep the space feeling fresh, relevant and engaging throughout the year. Earlier this spring, the team introduced magnolia, delicate blossom and layered greenery to replace the festive styling that had carried the venue through winter. Now, as summer arrives, the rooftop has been reimagined once again.
This time, the design centres around magnificent live Phoenix canariensis palms, complemented by lush faux fire-retardant tropical planting that creates a rich, immersive summer aesthetic. Together, the planting scheme brings height, texture and a sense of escapism to the rooftop environment, helping transport visitors away from the bustle of central London.
As is often the case with outdoor installations, the day began under grey skies and persistent rain. Fortunately, by the time the Natural Green team completed the installation, the clouds had cleared, the sun was shining and the full impact of the transformation could be appreciated.
The project forms part of a wider approach to venue enhancement that recognises the importance of keeping hospitality environments dynamic and engaging. For members' clubs, hospitality venues and destination spaces, seasonal refreshes can play an important role in maintaining interest, encouraging repeat visits and creating new experiences for guests.
At KOKO, the rooftop terrace has become much more than an outdoor space. It has evolved into a changing backdrop that reflects the seasons, supports the venue's distinctive personality and gives members and visitors something new to discover throughout the year.
For venues looking to attract new audiences while retaining existing members, this type of seasonal evolution can be a powerful tool. It helps create anticipation, keeps environments feeling current and provides highly shareable moments that enhance the overall guest experience.
The latest summer installation is another example of how thoughtful planting, creative design and attention to detail can transform a space without major structural change.
