Roof terrace design & construction

Roof terraces by professionals: surfaces on pedestals, wind- and drought-tolerant planting, privacy screening, irrigation and lighting – tailored to structural load and waterproofing.

Roof Terraces

Living spaces above the rooftops

A roof terrace turns unused roof space into an open-air living room with far-reaching views. We design roof terraces with the right surface, wind- and drought-tolerant planting, privacy and wind screening, and lighting – tailored to structural load and waterproofing.

Surfaces & construction

Whether timber deck, ceramic or natural stone on pedestals, we choose the surface to suit the architecture and how you use the space. Pedestals compensate for the slope, protect the waterproofing and keep the surface level and well drained.

Planting in containers & raised beds

On the roof, we plant in planters, troughs and raised beds with lightweight substrate – preferably grasses, perennials and small shrubs that tolerate wind and drought. This brings greenery without overloading the structure.

Wind, privacy & comfort

  • Privacy and wind screening made of timber, glass or plants
  • Automatic irrigation for planters and raised beds
  • Atmospheric lighting for mild evenings
  • Lightweight, durable materials

Roof terraces in Munich

In Munich especially, we transform unused roof space into green retreats – with planting suited to the location in planters and raised beds, and fitting furnishings, so that your terrace becomes a true open-air living room above the city rooftops. We also supply and install the furniture, from parasols to loungers: garden furniture from Weishäupl.

Frequently asked questions

Answers about roof terraces

What should you pay particular attention to with a roof terrace?
Above all, the structural load capacity and an intact waterproofing layer with proper drainage. We clarify both with the relevant specialists at the start, before we begin designing.
Which surfaces are suitable?
Timber decking, ceramic or natural stone on pedestals – the pedestals protect the waterproofing, compensate for the slope and keep the surface level.
Can you plant on a roof?
Yes, in planters, troughs and raised beds with lightweight substrate and plants that tolerate wind and drought – so the structural load stays within limits.
Do you also plan irrigation and lighting?
Yes, we plan automatic irrigation and a lighting concept as part of the design, so that the technical systems and the design work together.
