A modern terrace combines the sleek sophistication with clean lines and intentional negative space with a space designed for homeowners with elevated outdoor spaces.

When designed in the modern style, these elements get elevated with clean whites, warm grays, charcoal accents and materials like polished concrete, steel planters, composite decking.
