Hello, we would like to build a ground-level terrace (east side). It should be laid with travertine stone on gravel. Due to protection against moisture, it is well known that a 30cm splash guard etc. must be observed. I am aware of this, but in this case, a ground-level terrace would simply not be possible. My first thought was to simply use frost protection gravel and gravel up to the facade and protect it with a dimpled membrane. However, I am afraid that this would not be good for the house in the long run due to moisture (even if the terrace is actually protected from rain by a pergola).
Attached is a picture for illustration.
Now my question is whether for the connection to the building, a concrete base could "simply" be built. That is, to cast a concrete base (about 10 cm wide and 60 cm high) between the house facade (timber frame construction) and the terrace. In this case, moisture should no longer be a problem, right? Alternatively, drainage channels could of course be installed along the house, but these would also have to lie directly on gravel or concrete at the house.
Of course, not quite standard-compliant according to DIN, but it should actually work, or have I overlooked something?
Thank you in advance!
