Wide elevated outdoor terrace with timber decking
An exterior terrace precedent showcasing deep protective overhangs, glass balustrades, and warm timber decking designed for high-rise urban viewing.
- What we like about this project
- Curved, undulating vertical fins attached to the glass railing posts mirror the rhythmic profiling of the deep roof soffit.

- Geometry
- Linear elevated balcony running parallel to full-height glass interior facade under a deep projecting roof soffit with rhythmic edge profiling.
- Facade system
- Full-height glazed curtain wall paired with an outboard glass balustrade railing.
- Structural guess
- Steel or concrete cantilevered slab supporting the overhead soffit and balcony floorplate.
- Spatial scale
- Expansive outdoor balcony sized for multiple seating groups, roughly one story in clear height.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight illuminating the landscape and casting soft shadows under the deep protective soffit.
- Atmosphere
- Open, airy, and sheltered with a strong connection between interior floorplate and expansive landscape.
- Environmental context
- High-rise or mid-rise upper-level terrace overlooking a dense urban fabric with extensive autumn tree canopy.
- Spatial experience
- A sheltered, cantilevered outdoor promenade that frames expansive distant urban views above a tree canopy.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal perspective lines of decking boards, glass rail capping, and soffit edge lighting rhythm match the linear span of the building.
