Do you need professional advice on how to design a beautiful and practical roof terrace? We took 7 examples of the particularly stylish terrace on the roof of a building in Chicago. The pictures give good ideas on how to create a place for relaxation or pleasant guest receptions on your roof in the middle of the city. Brick seating with indirect lighting, a cozy fireplace and a dining area that floats in the green garden are just part of the tips given.
Example 1: Determinewhich areasYou want to design your roof terrace and distribute the space for everyone depending on their needs - seating area, outdoor kitchen with dining area, sun terrace, etc.
Example 2: A terrace roof provides shade for the dining area with the kitchen island. For recreation areas with sun loungers and for open dining areas, you can place umbrellas. The plants on the roof terraces like to lie in the sun.
Example 3: With lots of plants, you and your guests will feel more comfortable and refreshed, just like in nature. Choose suitable plant species for the weather in your region. Ornamental grass and evergreen ground covers are a good solution for terrace planting.
Example 4: Place the different areas on different levels to emphasize the feeling of space in a cozy way. Allow yourself to forget the stress of the city jungle.
Example 5: Include seating and recreation areas on open surfaces where the existing architecture allows and where it is practical. The hammock in this picture and brick seating with indirect lighting are just a few of the variations.
Example 6: Places that are suitable for relaxation and privacy also need the right light. Sphere outdoor lights or LED strips are a perfect fit if you want to choose indirect lighting for your roof terrace.
Example 7: Look at the floor plan and adapt the given area planning ideas to your own ideas and structural requirements.
