Hello everyone,
Since the house building project turned into buying an apartment, I am now planning the layout of the roof terrace.
It is located on the 7th floor, 6 x 5 meters (20 x 16 feet) and completely open on the roof.
On the one hand, I want to add greenery to the terrace, but on the other hand, I want to have some flexible protection from wind and sun.
However, this should not mean constantly setting up and taking down things.
Of course, it is important that nothing can be blown away, as that would be life-threatening.
The terrace has a continuous railing about 50 cm (20 inches) high, to which items can possibly be fixed.
I look forward to all your ideas.
Attached are 2 pictures; the “furnishing” is just for visualization.

What style should it be overall?
There’s no need to suggest an awning if it’s supposed to be the trendy rooftop terrace of a $2 million penthouse in a big city. A sail shade, for example, would suit that better.
You could also go with a beach theme, using sand, a beach chair, reed paneling, or something similar. A (good) parasol.
What will the railing look like?

The apartment is centrally located in Hamburg.Could you please share the price and size?I think this
is way too cluttered.
You can hardly reach the railing areas, and if there are planter boxes there, it becomes uncomfortable.
Is that supposed to be a small pool?
You also need to consider a storage box for chair cushions and some space for gardening tools.
A rain barrel would be practical, but only if you can connect it to a gutter.
On my 24m² (258 sq ft) terrace balcony (half covered), I only have a table, 6 chairs, a large cushion box, plant containers, a rain barrel, a small cabinet for gardening supplies, and a corner shelf.
That way, you can move around. One lounge chair would probably fit as well, but I wouldn’t want more than that.

As mentioned, this is just for illustration purposes. The "pool" would actually be a Jacuzzi, as the load-bearing capacity is limited.
The planters shown are located outside the terrace on the roof.
What furniture will actually be implemented is not the main concern at this stage.
