01PENTHOUSE RENOVATION
A penthouse terrace can be the best room in the home, but it sits above someone else's ceiling and is exposed to wind and sun at height. Its renovation starts with waterproofing and building approval, not furniture.

Discuss your terrace projectOr message us on WhatsAppThe terrace membrane protects the apartment below. New flooring is often laid on adjustable pedestals so the membrane is untouched and drains stay accessible. If the membrane is renewed, it is tested before any finish covers it, because a leak at this level damages other owners' homes.
Large planters filled with soil and water, hot tubs and stone flooring add significant load. The building's engineer or a consultant confirms what the terrace can carry. Furniture, screens and shade structures at height must withstand strong winds and be fixed or weighted accordingly.
Most buildings control what can be installed on terraces, especially anything visible from outside, fixed structures and changes to drainage. Approval is obtained before ordering materials.
