A big sunny terrace is a sought-after asset anywhere but for this one-bedroom apartment in the heart of the city, it’s transformational. Roughly half of the terrace is covered, creating a useable outdoor entertaining space, rain or shine. The use of colour on the terrace walls – in this case a well-chosen minty shade – draws the eye outside and is an earthy contrast to the monochrome look inside. Planter boxes on top of the walls add privacy and greenery, and the agaves and mother-in-laws tongue are good, low-maintenance plants for this city sanctuary.
