Making the most of a roof terrace

If you have a roof terrace or balcony, how can you make the most of it? There are some inspirational ideas out there to add value to your outside space:

Create warmth and use your outside space all year with a fire pit. In a small space, it is still possible to add a functional but stylish fire pit that is safe to use. The Firecube is ideal and with different fuel options, can conform to safety requirements. An optional table top also means it is multi-use.

For larger terraces or balconies, fire pits and tables create a social area with seating positioned around. The Elevated Halo is a great example used in residential and commercial spaces.

Water features are also an option on a terrace and can create a calm and tranquil

environment – an oasis in the city and integral as part of the mindful living trend for 2018*. Look out for self-circulating and “plug and play” products which mean there is no plumbing and water is not being wasted. The Dome is a great example.

There are many designers who are experienced in designing roof top and terrace gardens which tend to be in cities where outside space is at a premium.

Amber Freda Landscape Design have created some amazing spaces in NYC and their website has a portfolio of these as well as offering informative blogs such as flowers for a city roof top garden.

The Garden Builders in the UK have also worked on transforming roof spaces in London and their blog 7 roof terrace ideas showcases some of them and offers expert advice.
