TERRACE Ensanche, Barcelona

For many years it was the children’s playground. Now, with the children grown up, it was time for the whole family to take advantage of it.

Despite its elongated and irregular format, we were able to give it a certain shape with perimeter planters, avoiding uncomfortable corners that only accumulate dirt. The shrub barrier is supplemented with a wooden slat to provide extra privacy, especially in front of the glazed module that will be used as a gymnasium in the future.

In order to give it a landscaped character , we combined paving made of decking and gravel, leaving the original paving unaltered. Its lighting has also been carefully designed to give it warmth at night, making it the most used room in the house.
