Amber Freda Garden DesignAmber Freda Garden Design
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.

Terrazzo al primo piano nel quartiere Pinciano a Roma. Il terrazzo è ampio, piuttosto esposto. Le esigenze del cliente molteplici: il terrazzo costituisce infatti il nodo centrale degli spazi comuni dell'appartamento, recentemente trasformato in tre residenze temporanee. Gli spazi comuni - per volontà del cliente - ospitano conferenze, concerti, incontri ed eventi culturali e culinari. Il progetto prevede quindi un arredo fisso lungo tutto il perimetro del terrazzo - alternando fioriere e sedute - così da lasciare libero lo spazio centrale. I tavoli e le sedie (disegnati da Leonori Architetti) sono modulari e pensati per essere accostati alle sedute a seconda dell'uso, più o meno collettivo. Il sistema delle luci è pensato anch'esso per provvedere diversi livelli di intimità, partendo da un livello base (scenografico e soffuso, composto da faretti orientabili posizionati nelle fioriere) a cui si aggiungono le luci mobili appese al pergolato e le strip led sotto le sedute. In questo modo il terrazzo può accogliere i singoli clienti della struttura ricettiva offrendo loro un ambiente rilassante e, allo stesso tempo, è capace di ospitare eventi più o meno allargati. La struttura del pergolato è composta da una struttura portante e da cavi in acciaio inox per sostenere i rampicanti nella fase estiva e lasciar passare la luce nei mesi invernali. Le sedute e le fioriere sono rivestite con lamiera forata verniciata a polvere di un bel blu petrolio, che caratterizza il progetto.

Turquoise Terrace with a Potted Garden 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.
