The terrace of a minimalist house is the initial area to enter the house comfortably, as a welcoming area from all busy days, and a place to chats with family and guests. In your high activity and lack of socialization with neighbors, the function of the terrace is often forgotten. The terrace is just a transitional space between the outside and the inside of the house. Even, the function of the terrace has been shifted into a “warehouse” for storing footwear and bicycles.
How to restore core function? How to make the terrace look cool even it still carries a simple impression as the characteristic of minimalist style? Let’s look at the following tips!
A terrace is a flat area or a space in front of a house, that higher than others (usually overgrown with grass); ground or floor in front of the house completed with seats; or some flat roof in front of house. For Indonesians, the terrace of the house is very important part of the house. The terrace shows the personality of the home owner, the first face of a house.
Tiny Minimalist Terrace that Matches with the House Façade
The success of a terrace is not seen from the size of its area or the materials it forms. A good terrace is able to accommodate its function optimally. Even the land is narrow, the ingenuity of the design will make it look charming. Small size can be circumvented by high ceilings. Cleverly, the canopy roof is made to resemble a saddle. This technique makes the terrace area not only protected from heat and rain, but feels wider, with attractive shape.
The all-white color that matches the exterior façade makes it look even better. The light that freely reflects on the all-white walls makes the illusion of spacious and elegant space. The all-white background makes the warm white lights and various plants look prettier and stand out more. Choose plants with easy maintenance, such as cacti, Sansevieria trifasciata, and ornamental taro. Complete the terrace with a bench to sit while chatting.
Beautiful Minimalist House Terrace
The “super tiny” size still deserves the best design. Placed a garden chair the width of the terrace at the end. Placed a vertical garden with vines as a backdrop. Complete with a lamp so that you can still sit while reading on the terrace even though it is cloudy or already dark. White gravel stones become the basis for garden chairs. Beside it looks beautiful, white gives the clean and relieved impression. Combine wooden garden chairs with parquet floors or wood motif ceramic floors to create a natural feel.
