Elegant terrace design

Modern and simple

The fanta­stic view of Lake Zurich took centre stage in this terrace design: the struc­tured terrace was comple­mented and broken up with harmo­nious details, while still allo­wing a view of the lake. A soli­tary horn­beam at the front of the terrace creates a space-defining accent. The uniform mate­ria­li­sa­tion in the open and covered parts of the terrace is seam­lessly connected. A pre-greyed wooden deck ensures that the wood retains a uniform colour in both the open and covered parts despite the weather.

Airy privacy screen

The deli­cate grasses in the long, narrow plan­ters in the narrow corridor serve as an airy and natural privacy screen to the neigh­bou­ring house. The plan­ters on the glass front can be planted seaso­nally, crea­ting new high­lights time and again. The grass borders in the front corners with their low-growing shrubs and grasses create a harmo­nious, natural look and a smooth tran­si­tion between the terrace and the lake.

The terrace under cons­truc­tion

The covered and open parts of the terrace are seam­lessly connected by a uniform mate­ria­li­sa­tion. Pre-greyed wood was used for the wooden deck so that the wood in the open part does not change unevenly to the covered part of the terrace due to weathe­ring. The soli­tary horn­beam creates a strong space-forming accent and, with its small crown, provides a view both above and below.
 
The view to the south is charac­te­rised by the open and unob­s­tructed lake view. The two grass borders on the left and right front corners are planted with low-growing penni­s­etum (‘Little Bunny’) to create a smooth tran­si­tion between the terrace and the lake, perfectly conce­aling the steel borders. The low-growing shrubs in the plan­ters provide accents: Pinus on the left and a maple on the right.
The materialisation allows the covered and uncovered terrace areas to merge into one another.
