family terrace A+L
This project aimed to turn an old apartment rooftop into a family terrace with personality and liveliness, making active use of space a whole experience:
A COOKING PLACE: To interpret our clients' passion for Argentinian barbecue, we proposed a polished counter with a sink, a work surface, plenty of space for storing supplies, a wine cellar, a built-in mini-fridge, and a central, starring element - an adjustable stainless-steel grill.
SAFE AND CONNECTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT: The old rooftop was unsafe for children. Therefore, we increased the parapet height with safety glass attached to the existing walls, ensuring that the space remains visually connected to the exterior. This natural and urban environment boasts gorgeous dawn and dusk views, distant mountains, and a large part of the Floridablanca urban skyline.
A DOMESTIC CINEMA PLACE: A retractable projection screen was installed, hidden in the wooden structure, allowing for family events centered around another of our clients' passions - watching films.
AN EMOTIVE PLACE: Through special lighting design, we created diverse atmospheres with different qualities: brighter lighting to perform kitchen tasks with comfort, and dimmer lighting options for more introspective and cozy family events.
A PLACE TO PLAY AND CREATE: Due to its openness and flexibility, the terrace allows multiple activities for children and parents alike: exercising, playing, painting, and creating.
We incorporated low-maintenance materials that reflect our clients' tastes and preferences: ceramic tiles on the floors, wooden structures, stainless steel in the grill, polished concrete on the countertops and benches, and accents on the walls with rustic stucco textures, similar to those of traditional Colombian architecture.
