No. 11 Balconies & Rooftops · Colonial
Rooftop Deck Featuring Stone Outdoor Kitchen
This weathered timber rooftop terrace features a stone outdoor kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a wood dining set, and rust-toned metal planters filled with ornamental grasses along brick parapet walls.
Design notes
Colonial design is symmetry and restraint. Look for a central axis from the back door, matched beds and hedges either side, bluestone or brick terraces with tight joints, and white or black picket and post-and-rail fences. Planting is disciplined — boxwood, hydrangea, holly, dogwood and shade trees — and furniture is classic: teak benches, Windsor chairs, a market umbrella. Georgian brick, clapboard and shingle houses all suit it.
What to look for
- Weight — lightweight planters and mix, no wet soil in stone pots
- Wind and privacy handled with screens and planters, not walls
- One purpose per balcony: dine, lounge or grow
