Rooftop terrace: a second living layer

A riad's rooftop terrace. The flat roof is paved with terracotta tiles, surrounded by a waist-high parapet wall with openwork geometric brickwork at the top to allow wind to pass through. In one corner, there is a wooden pergola covered with climbing vines, beneath which is a set of low cushions and a small copper table. Washed clothes are drying nearby. From here, one can see an expanse of similarly high flat roofs and distant minarets. Avoid: using modern railings and glass parapet walls, making the terrace an enclosed space with a roof, using outdoor sofa sets and parasols, not showing the city's rooftop skyline in the surroundings.

一個里亞德的屋頂露台。平屋頂鋪著赤陶地磚,四周是一圈及腰的女兒牆,牆頂有鏤空的幾何磚砌讓風穿過;一角有一片藤蔓爬滿的木棚架,底下是一組低矮的坐墊與一張銅盤矮桌。旁邊晾著洗好的布。從這裡可以看到整片同樣高度的平屋頂與遠處的宣禮塔。避免:使用現代的欄杆與玻璃女兒牆、把露台做成有屋頂的封閉空間、使用戶外沙發組與遮陽傘、讓周圍看不到城市的屋頂輪廓。
