Dark frames, white wall surfaces and a wide terrace edge set the tone before the roof elements even come into view. The main focus is a louvre roof terrace that turns the outdoor zone beside the villa into a covered room of its own. Four louvre roofs are integrated into the terrace cover, and the whole composition reads as one clear architectural move: a place that can open to light and air, or close down when the weather changes.

A terrace edge that works like an extra room

The covered terrace reaches more than 80 m², which gives the outdoor area enough depth to function beyond a simple sitting spot. The glass line along the edge keeps the view open, while the structure above draws a firm boundary over the terrace. From the garden side, the volume sits against a strip of lawn, with the terrace floor meeting the glass folding walls in a straight, readable line. That measured edge is what makes the space feel usable throughout the day.

Seen from outside, the villa remains calm and direct. White façades are cut by darker bands around the windows, and the terrace cover extends outward as a strong horizontal plane. The result is not decorative layering, but a practical piece of architecture that gives the house a second living zone. The modern villa terrace gains depth through the roof cover rather than through ornament, and the materials stay restrained: glass, aluminium frames and smooth wall surfaces.

Four louvre roofs shaping light and air

The four louvre roofs are the most legible parts of the system. When opened in warm weather, they let the terrace read as a lighter construction, with the roof structure no longer forming a closed lid. That shift changes the way the space is experienced: more sky, more air, and a clear transition between interior and garden. The terrace does not need to be treated as an occasional add-on. It can take on a different use depending on how the roof elements are set.

Open and close outdoor space without losing the view

The project is built around the ability to open and close outdoor space without changing the terrace itself. The louvre roof terrace opens up in one mode, then closes again when less settled weather makes a covered setup more useful. That dual use is visible in the construction. The roof line stays present either way, but the feeling changes from airy to sheltered. It is a simple idea, carried out with enough scale to matter in daily use.

Because the louvres can close fully, the terrace is not limited to the clearest days. The glass folding walls can also be closed, making the edge of the space more enclosed when needed. In practice, that means the covered terrace over 80 m² can keep functioning as part of the house even when the weather turns. The clear perimeter of glass and the overhead roof elements work together, so the outdoor area stays readable as a room rather than a leftover strip along the façade.

Glass folding walls at the terrace edge

The glass folding walls sit right where the terrace meets the garden, and that line is what gives the project its sharpest contrast. Transparent panels replace a heavy enclosure, so the boundary stays open in appearance even when it is closed in use. The folding system makes the edge flexible without breaking the view. When the walls are folded back, the terrace reads as a single extension of the house; when they are shut, the enclosure becomes a clear shell around the seating area.

That closing terrace enclosure is most convincing because it is tied to the architecture rather than applied on top of it. The roof cover, the glass wall line and the villa volume are all aligned. Nothing feels added as an afterthought. The terrace sits under a broad horizontal cover, the garden remains visible through the glass, and the house keeps its crisp profile. For a modern villa terrace, that kind of clarity matters more than excess detail.

A covered terrace that changes with the weather

When the roof and glass walls are opened, the structure becomes lighter and the terrace edges soften. When both are closed, the same space turns more enclosed and protected. That change is the central feature of the project. The covered terrace over 80 m² can be read in two ways: as a shaded outdoor room on a warm day, or as a sheltered extension of the villa when conditions are less favourable. The architecture does not force one use; it holds both.

What makes the project memorable is the way the scale is handled. The terrace is large enough to feel like a proper room, yet the materials keep it from becoming heavy. Glass, slim frames and the repeated rhythm of the four roof sections give the enclosure a measured appearance. The outdoor space sits firmly beside the villa, but the openings and transparent edges keep it visually connected to the garden. That balance of enclosure and openness is built into the section itself.

A living zone drawn into the garden

The terrace is described as a kind of living room, and that idea is easy to see in the way the cover extends over the seating area. Instead of placing furniture under a small canopy, the project defines a full zone with height, depth and a clear edge. The lawn in front, the glass wall at the side and the roof above create a space that feels positioned, not improvised. It is outdoor living shaped by architecture, with the villa and terrace reading as one spatial sequence.

In that sequence, the detail matters. The dark frames sharpen the white walls. The glass catches the light without closing the view. The roof elements sit as a clear band above the terrace floor. Together they make the louvre roof terrace the most active part of the house: open when the weather allows, closed when shelter is needed, and always tied to the geometry of the villa beside it.
