Weather-Resistant Surface

Choose durable and weather-resistant flooring materials for your rooftop terrace. Options like composite decking, porcelain tiles or porcelain decking, can withstand the elements and provide a comfortable surface for year-round use.

Multi-functional Spaces

Design your rooftop terrace with versatility in mind. Consider multi-functional furniture that can be easily rearranged to accommodate different activities, from casual gatherings to formal dinners. This adaptability ensures your space remains functional throughout the year.

Seasonal Planting

Bring the changing seasons to your rooftop terrace by incorporating seasonal plants. Use large, durable planters to grow flowers, shrubs, or even small trees. Choose a mix of evergreen and seasonal plants to maintain visual interest even during the winter months.

Lighting for Every Mood

Install a variety of outdoor lighting options or use built-in lighting to set the mood for different seasons. String lights, lanterns, and LED fixtures can create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Use warm tones for a comfortable ambiance in the fall and winter, and cooler tones for a refreshing feel during the spring and summer.

Outdoor Heating Solutions

Extend the usability of your rooftop terrace into the cooler seasons by incorporating outdoor heating solutions. Options like fire pits, patio heaters, or even built-in fireplaces can add warmth and ambiance, making your terrace inviting during chilly evenings.
