6. Meandering Path
What makes this deck on an Italian rooftop stand out is the curvature of the surrounding raised planting beds. Instead of opting for straight planters running along the walls, architect Alessandra Parolini installed planters with large triangular nooks on either side of the deck pathway. Combined with the plantings, they create the feeling of soft curves.
The extra planting space also allows room for multiple trees, including an olive tree, as well as shrubs and lush trailing foliage plants. What’s lost in deck floor space is made up for in the overall intrigue of the deck design; one feels drawn to explore the rest of the rooftop terrace.
