Step Outside – Urban Terraces & Gardens

Terraces and balconies have the potential to become the crowning element of a building. They are an extension of an enclosed habitable room to the open air and a hideaway in the urban landscape. This book includes abundant design material that provides creative solutions to shape a stylish and unique open space, whether for entertaining, gardening, sunbathing or simply admiring the view. Focused on the residential environment, the book contains garden plans, practical ideas and valuable advice for passionate gardeners and anyone lucky enough to have a private outdoor space in the city and interested in turning it into a wonderful retreat. To sum up: bring in ideas for the decoration of these paradises and turn them into personal and warm spaces by means of the use of a large variety of materials such as wood, tile, etc., and gardening techniques that include various types of plants suitable to different climates and the locations.
