This gem on Minnehaha Parkway in Minneapolis features a seamless addition to a classic Tudor home. The scope of work included expanding a one-car garage into a two-car with plenty of storage, creating a primary bedroom above the garage and converting an existing bedroom into a primary bath to complete the suite. Architect: Brian Falk of Brickhouse Architects, Minneapolis. Photos by Greg Schmidt.

The upper floor of the cottage houses the cosy kitchen and living space which opens up onto the terrace with views to the Solent to the south and the South Downs to the north. The terrace has a planted roof to the perimeter to soften its visual impact within the AONB.

A complicated split level garden with three terraces over a steep drop. We divided the space into three separate areas, with a decked area for relaxed seating outside the back doors, a paved area below and a lawned area at the bottom. Planting infills softened the edges of the paving and hard landscaping. While metal screens and a wire balustrade allowed plenty of light to filter through to each level and a view of the levels below.

On this project, the client was looking to build a backyard parking pad to ease frustration over the endless search for city-parking spaces. Our team built an eclectic red brick 1.5 car garage with a rooftop deck featuring custom IPE deck tiles and a metal railing. Whether hosting a dinner party or enjoying a cup of coffee every morning, a rooftop deck is a necessity for city living.

Terraza urbana, muy expuesta al extremo clima de Madrid al ser un octavo piso. Además, teníamos que disimular el enrejado y el aire acondicionado instalado en la terraza, todo ello consiguiéndolo sin quitar luz ni vistas a la vivienda. Para ello, colocamos unos bonitos ejemplares de "acer palmatum" en las esquinas de la terraza y plantamos en las esquinas de la terraza y plantamos en las jardineras aromáticas y trepadoras. Al lado del aire acondicionado, colocamos apoyado en el suelo un gran espejo antiguo y lo acompañamos con un conjunto de macetas, en las que plantamos "camelias", consiguiendo así disimular la maquinaria.

The Project, that began in April, took approximately 3 ½ weeks to complete for the clients who’s property is located close to the busy Sloane Square and York Road area. The project saw us create a new roof terrace that was safe for their children to enjoy! We installed a brand new roof terrace including the replacement of the railings, new decking, lighting and electrics. We also took charge and arrangements of the full planning permission and the Building control sign off. The full project cost was around £10k-£30k The client was exceptionally happy and the children love their new & safe outside terrace space.

Small Metal Railing Terrace Ideas and Designs

There’s nothing quite like an outdoor space with a view and if you’re elevated up high then there’s more chance of getting that view. Even if you’re not blessed with a natural view from your home, an elevated space outdoors will at least give you the chance to survey the land in front of you; whether that’s a few square metres or whole acres! A terrace is one way of achieving this as it gives you the flat surface of a patio but elevated; either on a flat roof, as decking in your garden, or extending out from your house at ground level or higher. Whether a terrace is your only outside space and you want it to function as a garden or you’ll be using it as a dining or seating area, there are all sorts of design ideas, furniture, plants and accessory options to think about.

How do I decorate or design a roof garden?

UK homeowners are resourceful when it comes to outside space and will make the most of anything they can get their hands on, so it’s no wonder that in urban areas and cities we look to the roof for a place to get some rays. A roof terrace can work in just the same way as a decking area, but you just may need a few extra elements to make it more comfortable – a way of shading an area from the sun, perhaps a parasol or sun shade, a touch of green to break up the stark nature of a roof, and a drainage system that will stop rain water collecting in colder months. If you want to create a whole garden on your roof you’ll be a little more restricted than when on ground level. Plants may have to remain potted, but you can find companies that design and install green roofs – systems that allow plants to be planted into the roof surface. However, green roofs can be costly and tricky to install, so stick to pots and raised flower beds if you want to stay on the safe side. Loungers, deck chairs and rattan chairs are great pieces of roof garden furniture as they’re portable and can be moved around your rooftop garden easily; perfect for sun chasers. However, if you want to create a larger sense of space for your roof terrace design, think about built-in benches or seating around the sides or a corner of your roof garden.

What to consider when designing garden decking

A decked garden area may look simple once finished, but there are so many factors to consider when it comes to putting together decking ideas. You’ll need to think about the materials you want to use, the balustrades or railings you might choose, whether you will have a raised deck and decking steps, and whether you want decking lights.

Which decking material is best?

Composite decking is a popular choice for outdoor deck material because it offers a combination of practicality and style. The boards are made of wood and plastic fibres so that the classic wooden look is kept but the plastic fibres mean they will be much more durable and easier to maintain than traditional hardwood. If you can’t resist the natural look and feel of hardwood decking boards, then yellow balau, iroko and ipe decking are suitable outdoor boards that will give you the classic feel of a traditional wooden deck. Remember, with hardwood decking you will regularly need to treat the wood to keep it clean, waterproofed and to maintain the colour. As wood is usually more of an investment than composite or plastic decking, it’s a good idea to speak to decking specialists or timber merchants because they will be able to advise you on the best wood for your design and how best to treat it. You may find that different decking materials are better to suited to different types of terraces; whether that’s on a roof, in the garden or on a balcony. Whether you are designing a terrace, balcony or decked garden area from scratch, or just looking to decorate what you already have, take a look through the photos on Houzz to find terrace and balcony ideas and inspiration.
