Project: Pergola on terrace

Type of project: Exterior refurbishment

Date: 2010

Phase: Completed

Description: The aim of the project was to provide shading to this south facing terrace and redesign the 125m2 outdoor space adjacent to an apartment located in Lisbon.

One of the challenges on site was to prevent damages to the terrace waterproofing layer and also avoid the need to obtain authorization from the remaining residents of the building and thus speed up its construction.

The wooden structure defines the space for barbecues, which were already common practice on the terrace. It has three shelves positioned at different heights to provide the functions of sitting, eating or storing kitchenware. The structure allows it to be easily adapted with the incorporation of removable blinds and artificial light.
