WHETHER CANTILEVERED, OPEN OR COVERED, AS A WIDE EXTENSION OF THE GROUND FLOOR OR AS ROOF GARDENS IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, TERRACES MAXIMISE THE SENSE OF SPACE BY PARTIALLY SEIZING OUTDOOR AREAS. THIS BOOK IS A SHOWCASE OF THE MULTIPLE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES OFFERED BY THESE PRIVILEGED SPACES; AN ENTERTAINING, SOCIAL AND CONTEMPLATIVE PLACE THAT IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN EVERY HOME.
