Garden shed with rooftop terrace: a multifunctional garden shed with extra outdoor space
For this project, we created a modern garden unit with a rooftop terrace, designed as a functional and comfortable additional space with a clear added value: an accessible and safely finished terrace on top of the unit. This solution combines indoor space and the outdoor experience in a smart and aesthetically pleasing way.
Compact volume with maximum utilization
The garden unit was designed as a clean, rectangular volume with a sleek architectural look. By adding a rooftop terrace, the available space is optimally utilized without taking up additional ground area.
This layout is ideal for:
- extra living or workspace
- meeting or gathering space
- neighborhood or community functions
- multifunctional outbuilding with outdoor space
Warm materials and contemporary design
The unit features:
- a vertical wooden facade finish
- a dark, sleek structure
- large glass sections on the front
This combination creates a warm, inviting appearance that contrasts beautifully with the surroundings, while keeping the overall look modern and timeless.
The wooden siding softens the building’s mass and allows the unit to blend seamlessly into the greenery.
Roof terrace as a fully-fledged extra space
A rooftop terrace with a metal balustrade was added on top of the garden unit. This terrace provides an additional outdoor space that can be used for relaxation, meetings, or events.
The roof terrace:
- increases the usable area
- offers an elevated view of the surroundings
- is finished in a safe and low-maintenance way
This makes the garden unit not only a functional building but also a place to enjoy the outdoors.
Light, comfort, and accessibility
The large glass panels provide plenty of natural light in the interior, contributing to comfort and ease of use. The unit is easily accessible and practically designed, suitable for intensive and daily use.
Installation on a paved surface ensures stability and a seamless integration into the surroundings.
