Terraces As Outdoor Rooms

by Kent Higgins

This has been achieved through the use of tricks such as glass walls, continuing the use of a wall material inside and out on a terrace and doing the same for the ceiling. With such techniques it is now possible to have your living room, dining room and even the bedrooms in the house flow right outdoors on to decks of wood that appear to “float” , terraces constructed of brick or cement blocks or lattice roofs.
