Design a roof terrace – low-budget project for terrace design

In the city, where every area usually has a different value than in the country, roofs are not used optimally and are perhaps even neglected. A design team led by architect Joan Marantz has brought an urban garden project to fruition. You would need a 35 sqmDesign a roof terrace, as several areas but very sustainable, considering the limited budget of the average citizen.

Design a roof terrace – urban garden

DieRoof terracewill be converted into a versatile open area, partly covered and partly planted. The floor is completely laid with wooden floorboards and runs on several levels. Under the terrace roof there is an outdoor kitchen, next to it a dining area with a beautiful view of the city and on the other side - a small vegetable and spice garden. The planting is supplied with a separate irrigation system.

Buenos Aires, Argentina – a low-budget project

An important point when designing the terrace is the cost. For this reason, materials with satisfactory price-performance ratios are used, such as tinplate, decking, plaster and steel. A modern relaxation zone has been created for the residents' leisure time. The different densities of materials and airy structures are designed precisely for the location, so that reasonable shading and privacy are provided and a balance between open/closed is achieved.
