There are many popular postcodes in London. They each have their own amazing architecture and heritage. However, one of the harder things to obtain is access to green space. There could be an answer though in the form of the city’s rooftops. We would be more than happy to help you with this kind of project, giving you a chance to work with a first class architect London loves.

What Makes It Special

A roof space can be alive all year round. They can help make London greener through plants and miniature gardens. This is a great element in sustainable architecture. When done right, they can improve water and air quality as well as increasing biodiversity in the local area. There are also numerous pieces of research that show how access to a green space can reduce stress.

Terraces can help people embrace the passion for outdoor space. In addition they can make your property more attractive to buyers and tenants for the potential to be out there in warm weather. You can also design it to be a sheltered space from wind.

Remember These Things

There are some important considerations with roof spaces. For example you must ensure its appearance complements the rest of the property. On top of this, any supporting walls need to be able to carry the weight of the materials and guests. When you work with experts and think creatively, almost any building can benefit from a roof terrace.

Approval

Planning permission is an essential aspect and cannot be ignored. While you may not need it, you must be sure so that you do not run into problems later down the line. Make sure you ask your local authority about your rights and their rules. These will differ by area.

There are a lot of people considering the idea of a rooftop conversion because this additional space is desirable. This demand means that there is more precedence for councils to grant permission in different areas.

With our work we can design something that will make your application look favourable. This includes following all relevant regulations. Another part of this is working on your ideas and suggesting some of our own. As a result we will be able to create a stunning space you will love to use any chance you get.
