About this design

This sophisticated rooftop terrace showcases a warm, earthy dominant palette of terracotta, olive greens, and soft beige tones complemented by the golden glow of dusk. The space features a mix of natural materials including a solid wood dining table, weathered terracotta planters of varying sizes, and sleek green metal outdoor furniture. A striking glass and steel canopy provides partial shelter while allowing natural light to filter through, enhanced by strategically placed warm wall sconces and string lights that create an inviting evening ambiance. The spatial layout cleverly balances intimate dining and lounging zones with abundant vertical and horizontal greenery, including mature olive trees and succulents, establishing a lush urban sanctuary. The open layout frames breathtaking views of Mexico City’s modern skyline, notably the illuminated pyramid-shaped Torre BBVA. This versatile outdoor room perfectly suits cosmopolitan homeowners and entertaining enthusiasts seeking a tranquil yet stylish retreat above the city.
