Terrace & Rooftop Transformations
We turn empty rooftops into functional outdoor living spaces using weather-resistant IPE wood, custom pergolas, and smart lighting designs that stand up to the Delhi climate.
This is the finished rooftop, a perfect party place with a sunset view. The combination of the dark wood pergola, warm deck lighting, and green artificial turf creates an inviting atmosphere.
The 'Before' state of the terrace. It was a plain, tiled space with limited function, which I saw as a blank canvas for a complete outdoor makeover.
The 'After' view showcases the dramatic transformation. The new structure adds architectural interest and creates a comfortable, shaded seating area on the previously exposed rooftop.
The final touches are crucial. Here, a member of my team is applying a protective oil coating to the Thermopine wood deck, ensuring its longevity and enhancing the natural grain.

This video walks you through the different elements of the completed terrace, from the wooden deck tile pathway to the raised platform and bamboo privacy screen.
About Terrace & Rooftop Transformations
When we plan your terrace, the first thing we look at is drainage and sun exposure. We don't just glue down grass; we build raised, leveled platforms that protect your roof surface and ensure water flows correctly, so your wood does not rot after a few monsoons.
Our Approach to Outdoor Living
We do not believe in quick fixes for rooftops. Whether you are in a farmhouse or a city apartment in Delhi NCR, your terrace faces intense heat and heavy rain. That is why we focus on:
- Material Selection: We primarily work with Brazilian IPE wood and thermally treated Thermopine. These are not just aesthetic choices; they are durable materials that resist termites, moisture, and warping.
- Structural Integrity: Every pergola is anchored with heavy-duty iron brackets. We assess the load-bearing capacity of your roof before we lift a single beam.
- Precision Finishing: As we say on-site, the job is not done until the polish is perfect. Our team handles the sanding, oiling, and fitting to ensure there are no jagged edges or uneven gaps.
What You Get
From the planning stage to the final handover, we manage the logistics. We handle the supply of materials, the scaffolding, and the cleaning. Our installations include:
- Multi-level decking for defined lounge areas.
- Concealed LED strip lighting under step risers for safe, ambient evening use.
- Privacy fencing using natural bamboo or wooden slats to create a quiet corner.
If you have a specific vision for your rooftop or are unsure if your space can handle a heavy structure, send us a photo of the area. We can tell you exactly what is possible.
