"Terraces and balconies have the potential to become the crowning element of a building. They are an open-air extension of an enclosed habitable room 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. The spaces featured invite ideas for the decoration of these pockets of paradise, turning them into warm and personal spaces by means of a large variety of materials such as wood, and gardening techniques that include various types of plants suitable to different climates and locations"--Publisher's description.
