Hello
We are remodeling a house. The living, kitchen, and dining area will be on the first floor, with the bedrooms on the ground floor. The ground floor also has a garden with seating areas, a table, a fire pit, and so on. However, since we will be living on the upper floor, we want to have an easy way to go outside for everyday use, like having dinner or sitting outside a bit during the week. This terrace would be 4 x 4.5 meters (13 x 15 feet) in size. We want to put a table on it (about 1.8 meters / 6 feet), a grill, and if possible a small sofa or something similar, nothing large. On weekends or when guests are visiting, we would probably spend more time in the garden (at least in theory), but during the week we would like to be close to the kitchen.
What do you think, is this size sufficient? Will everything fit? Does anyone have a similar terrace and can share how it feels?

The kitchen is connected to the terrace, and the terrace is part of the garden.
Do you want to carry everything through the house, or just squeeze onto the terrace?
If there are small children, or if you plan to have some, should they be able to play unsupervised in the garden?
A 4 x 4.5 meter (13 x 15 feet) space is just enough for a seating area with a grill, but I find that quite tight. The grill is usually placed a bit further away, except in winter when everyone wants the warmth. Maybe on one side you could add a bench that can be pushed right against the railing. Just sketch everything out. A sofa won’t fit anymore. You still need room for walking paths.
