How to Design an Apartment with a Large Terrace

An apartment with a terrace offers the opportunity to go beyond the interior layout and create an additional space for relaxation, work, or personal pursuits. A spacious terrace can be designed around your needs — whether that means working on your laptop, reading a book, doing a morning stretch, or enjoying breakfast or dinner outdoors.

At Astrid, we have created direct access to the terrace from the kitchen and living room, making it easy to use as an extension of the main living area. You can create a dining area, add comfortable lounge chairs, or leave part of the space open for your own activities.

For those who work or study from home, the terrace can offer a welcome change of scenery. A desk, chair, and laptop are all you need to set up a comfortable workspace. You can join an online meeting, work on tasks or assignments, or read study materials here, then free up the space once you are done for other activities.

A spacious terrace can also be used for yoga, meditation, stretching, or exercise. All you need is an open area where you can roll out a yoga mat. If you enjoy creative pursuits, you can place an easel, set up a space for drawing, or create a small area dedicated to another hobby.

For a comfortable place to relax, all you need is an armchair, a small sofa, a cozy throw, and soft lighting. This creates the perfect setting for reading, listening to music, or watching films outdoors. And when you want to spend time with family or friends, the terrace can become a place for dinner, a barbecue, or an evening of board games.

Another option is to create a small garden. Flowers, ornamental plants, greenery, and fragrant herbs can all become part of the terrace design. With a spacious terrace, you can combine different types of plants, create separate arrangements, or grow your own herbs and greens.

This is the main advantage of a terrace — it is not designed for just one purpose. Today, it can be a place to work or practice yoga; tomorrow, to have breakfast with your family; and in the evening, to read a book, watch a film, or have dinner with friends. At Astrid, we have provided enough flexibility for everyone to arrange their terrace according to their individual needs and habits.
