Terraces on roofs are now considered a luxury of city life. It should be noted that the design should be regarded as an extension of the living space. The focus is also on the spectacular view of the roofs and the feeling of light and space, which you cannot normally get in the city. If you want to design a roof terrace for more privacy, you should think of the privacy options. Here we will give you a few examples that you would fascinate.
Roof gardens have a long history and were traveled 900 BC. According to historical traditions. The “hanging gardens” of the Semiramis are probably the best -known example of green roofs. You are really liketerraced gardensshown that are built on the roof of a magnificent lock. Bundles and asphalt were laid onto the ground and covered with bricks and thick lead panels to offer sealing for the magnificently furnished rooms below. The terraces on the roof were planted with flowering bushes and trees such as larch, birch, cypress, cedar, acacia and mimosa. These gardens were in the 6th century BC BC in Babylon and are one of the seven wonders of the world.
Well -designed terraces offer an escape that could not give a one -storey terrace. This offers excellent views of the city and a recovery of noise and dirt. A terrace on a flat roof could be much more than a simple terrace with a table, chairs and a parasol. Extend your living space and transform the roof into a relaxing oasis with lush plants, comfortable lying areas and an outdoor kitchen with grill. Use design solutions that correspond to your lifestyle.
The pergola is wonderful roofing. So if you have enough space outdoors, you should definitely consider it. As a privacy screen, you can then choose climbing plants, which will take a certain amount of time to grow large enough. Alternatively, like this, curtains that can be opened and closed as desired are also suitable. Blinds are also very popular.
Terraces that serve public purposes and thus contain several seating areas can use different types of privacy variants to ensure a certain privacy in every seating area. But also the privacy, where individual areas are to be visually separated from each other, can be designed with these ideas. What is meant are high and elongated planters, which are planted with ornamental grass or other high plants. Even small trees are suitable, provided the space allows it.
You are also welcome to use the railing to protect yourself from prying eyes. Simply equip it with a lavish planting. In this way, they increase the railing and make it look more natural. The planting of the terrace in general can also make you appear more lavish by reflective surfaces. In this example, a modern metal water wall was used for this.
A sun sail serves less than privacy protection than sun protection. In any case, it is a subtle and space -saving accessories that is very useful and is particularly suitable for modern facilities. The metal flower boxes with illuminated decorative grass also create a certain protection from the neighboring look.
Here you can see a large, modern pergola, in dark gray, which serves as a completely closed roof. The support beams are provided with attractive climbing plants, which together with the container plants and lush beds ensure a natural environment. The lighting plays a major role when you design the roof terrace. After all, they want to be able to use them in the dark. Lamps that are aimed at the plants are very effective. In this way, on the one hand, they emphasize their attractive planting and at the same time create a pleasant atmosphere without dazzling light.
Let the terrace look more interesting and relaxed by designing different levels on the roof terrace. You can achieve this in different ways. Vizilies of different tall buckets are a possibility. Podiums on which seating and dining areas or how a pool can be built here are also perfectly suitable for loosening up the atmosphere. The buckets can then also serve as privacy ideas or they build high walls or privacy screens, as on this terrace.
Perhaps your terrace is also in a place where you are not disturbed by looks and the view can be enjoyed perfectly. Then use this advantage by not disturbing the view through high elements. Choose a railing that is relatively open and only place planters on the sides or the back of the seating area.
This seating area looks very cozy. The reason for this is without a doubt that it is framed by a lavish planting from many different plant species. In addition, there is attractive lighting that makes the lounge inviting even in the evening. The view of the skyline is not disturbed in this design. Instead, one side with lower plant species was planted.
With a small space, a shadow -donating parasol can also be set up, which, in combination with different plant species, not only makes the terrace look more homely and cozy, but also creates a certain privacy. There are models whose umbrella can be set to any angle in order to be able to adapt it to the movement and location of the sun at any time. The disadvantage is that such umbrellas do not protect against rain. So if you would also like to enjoy the time outside with short rain periods, you should think about another option.
