Terrace Design (Designfocus)

Whether one lives in a house in the country or an apartment in town, terraces are a treasured amenity, extending living spaces to the outdoors while allowing nature inside. This lavishly illustrated fantasy book highlights twenty spectacular terraces of every variety—rooftop terraces, garden terraces, solariums—and provides tips on how to renovate, décorate and make maximum use of the space allotted to each. Located around the world, many have been designed by the world’s leading architects and will provide wonderful inspiration for anyone seeking to improve an existing terrace or add a new one. Whether we live in a house in the country or in a city home, a terrace is an increasingly cherished luxury that opens living space out to the exterior and creates more direct contact with nature. Spectacular and of varied design, some are on the roofs, some are fitted with a solarium, while others boast a garden. Over the course of 136 pages and with more than 140 spectacular photos in colour, Terrace Design offers a complete selection of terraces set in the country, by the sea and in the city. An original compilation that will inspire a new terrace or refurbishment and that offers valuable advice for the optimum use of space City terraces, of whatever size, are perhaps the most introverted of all due to the density of the urban fabric, the closeness of neighbors and the unappealing views.
