Roof Terrace Ideas and Designs
Urban Skies
This penthouse apartment situated in the heart of the capitol demanded a stunning and inviting roof garden to really give the client a stunning outside space in the ultimate Urban setting. Working with the Landscaper, we helped develop this amazing covered seating pergola. The design incorporated an extruded aluminium framework with motorised aluminium louvres to give the client shade control but to give the space weather protection. We then included remote operated LED perimeter lighting within the roof along with an integrated heater.

This custom roof deck in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood features lightweight aluminum decking, ipe planters, an ipe and metal pergola, and ipe benches with built-in storage under the seats. Few woods can match the natural beauty of ipe (pronounced ee-pey), a hardwood with a 30-year life expectancy. These pictures were taken in early spring, before the leaves have filled out on the trees. Plantings include coralbark maples, hornbeams, pink cherry trees, crape myrtles, and feather grasses. The planters include LED up-lighting and automated drip irrigation lines. Read more about our projects on my blog, www.amberfreda.com.

Previously a utilitarian flat roof was transformed into a large outdoor living area with full kitchen, dining and living areas on two levels. LED outdoor step lights provide a glow at night, as does the new fire pit. The Specstone porcelain floor pavers sit on Bison pedestal supports for drainage and maintenance.

This view of this Chicago rooftop deck from the guest bedroom. The cedar pergola is lit up at night underneath. On top of the pergola is live roof material which provide shade and beauty from above. The walls are sleek and contemporary using two three materials. Cedar, steel, and frosted acrylic panels. The modern rooftop is on a garage in wicker park. The decking on the rooftop is composite and built over a frame. Roof has irrigation system to water all plants.

Moving through the kitchenette to the back seating area of the rooftop, a classic lodge-style hot tub is a pleasant surprise. Enclosed around the back three sides, the patio gains some privacy thanks to faux hedge fencing.

Verlässt man die Wohnung über die zweite Etage, so gelangt man auf eine wunderschöne Dachterrasse von der man einen 360 Grad Panoramablick über die Dächer Berlins hat. Ein wunderschöner Ort der bisweilen nicht zum Relaxen einlud. Daher erweckten wir mit geschickten Tricks die Terrasse aus ihrem Dornröschenschlaf.
Die Kundin folgte unserer Empfehlung, auch hier mutig ins Farbspiel zu gehen. Ein Outdoor-Loungesofa mit farbigen Bezügen und Kissen lädt jetzt zum Verweilen ein. Außerdem finden sich in jeder Ecke der großzügigen Terrasse hochwertige Outdoormöbel, auf den in Ruhe gelesen oder gearbeitet werden kann.
Abgerundet wird alles mit einem indirekten Beleuchtungskonzept sowie sonne- und hitzeresistenten Pflanzen. Hier entschieden wir uns für lange Gräser und Farne sowie bienenfreundlichen Edellavendel.
Hinzu kam ein Bewässerungssystem der Marke Gardena, welches individuell auf die Bedürfnisse der einzelnen Kübelpflanzen geplant und installiert wurde.
