Hello,
I am planning to build a 1.5-story single-family house in Brandenburg. The location and orientation of the floor plan are predetermined due to space constraints.
Now it’s time to design the terrace, and I would appreciate tips from experiences here in the forum. The terrace runs in an L-shape around the northeast side of the house (
). To the north, a small river flows, and to the east stands the neighbor’s house, very close by. So the open view is towards the north.
I am a person who almost never sunbathes voluntarily. I like sitting in the shade, except in the morning when the sunlight is bearable. I know my terrace is located in a shady spot on the property. Unfortunately, it’s also surrounded by many trees, which a) make it even darker and b) dirty.
I am now trying to find the best possible compromise and am considering covering the entire L-shaped terrace with a wood-glass roof. That way, I would protect the terrace from the leaves of the trees and, of course, from other environmental influences, but I might take away the last bit of light that is there?
Another consideration is to cover only the north side and leave the small eastern part of the L open, for example, to be able to sit in the sun at breakfast.
How would you approach this topic?
