Terrace – Paris 15

This landscaping project transformed a Parisian terrace into a beautiful living space.

All the planters and vegetation existing prior to the work were carefully removed to enable the waterproofing of the terrace to be completely repaired. New ipe wood decking was installed. Additional railings were also added to comply with legal height requirements.

A row of beige planters was placed along the railing, raised by a wooden platform. This arrangement enhances the height of the mainly evergreen plants,  creating a dense, elegant screen of vegetation. This arrangement ensures perfect privacy by masking the view of the neighboring building.

To bring diversity and movement to the plant composition, a second, lower row of planters was installed, accommodating grasses and flowering perennials. These light, colorful plantings contrast nicely with the evergreens, adding touches of color as the seasons change.

To conceal the unattractive separation from the neighbouring terrace, panels made of horizontal ipe wood slats were installed. On the other side of the terrace, the view has remained deliberately unobstructed, to take full advantage of the environment and the view of the Eiffel Tower.

The choice of furniture had to be coordinated with the interior of the apartment, which had just been renovated by the Heju agency. The choice was made for designer, compact and weather-resistant pieces, selected for their ability to last over time without the need for waterproof covers.

The plant environment is composed mainly of trees and shrubs with graphic trunks, accompanied by evergreen plants capable of withstanding wind and sun. This plant composition ensures a green, soothing terrace all year round, offering an intimate, relaxing setting right in the heart of the city.
