It is about creating outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of your home. ## Photos and videos - ![A wider view of the terrace, showing how the different elements work together.

We avoid heavy concrete structures in favor of custom-fabricated mild steel pergolas paired with heat-insulated puff sheets. This keeps the space comfortable even on bright afternoons. Beneath that, we plan for long-term usability, using granite-topped masonry seating that holds up against the elements so you can focus on the view rather than the maintenance. ### Practical Design for Elevated Spaces We approach every terrace as a living room that just happens to be under the sky. The design restraint you see in our work is intentional. We want the space to feel effortless, which means hiding the complex engineering required to make it functional. ### The Technical Foundation Before any aesthetics, we look at the structure. A terrace garden adds significant weight, so we use lightweight potting mixes made of cocopeat, perlite, and vermicompost to ensure the slab stays safe. Waterproofing is treated with the same priority as the furniture selection; we spot-check all planter areas to ensure drainage happens exactly where it is supposed to, keeping the flooring dry and usable throughout the monsoon. ### Managing the Elements Our choice of materials is driven by longevity. We prefer granite slabs for seating ledges because they handle rain and sun without fading or warping, unlike wood which requires constant oiling and maintenance. For the greenery, we focus on native species. Hardy plants like Areca Palms, Plumeria, and Heliconia thrive in the local climate with minimal fuss. We often plant these in high-density lines along the parapet walls. This creates a natural green barrier that acts as a wind buffer, providing you with privacy from neighboring buildings while softening the hard edges of the terrace. ## About Studio Wight We are Ambica and Jhashank from Studio Wight. We believe your terrace should be more than just a storage space, so we obsess over the details—like how shadows move across the floor or how to keep the potting soil lightweight. If you have a rooftop that is just sitting empty, we would love to help you reimagine it.
