In this design with a raised terrace, we were able to solve a seemingly insurmountable problem: the lady of the house wanted to expand the terrace in front of the door; her husband on the other hand wanted to keep the basement staircase that is located in this area. Due to the elevated terrace, which was built with a hydraulic swing-up bottom element in the staircase area, both requests were united. Realization in larch wood.
