For new tenants and homeowners alike, having the chance to have an outdoor space is essential. Whether it is a small, medium or large terrace, balcony, patio, garden level or courtyard, it needs to be functional and bright.
Terraces are more often requested, and flats with terraces are popular with students.
However, ground floor flats can also have their advantages: the garden level. Residences with communal gardens will be more easily accessible and the notorious moving out moment will be less stressful.
The garden level can also be a significant advantage for a family. A green space for the children and a way to avoid exhausting themselves with the stairs of a building for the elderly.
However, despite the positive aspects, the garden level has a real problem, which is the vis-à-vis.
Trees, flowers and plantings are regularly added to reduce the visual impact, especially in metropolitan areas such as Paris. The most frequent repercussion of this solution is that the rooms exposed to the garden level are darkened.
The garden level is the opportunity for a ground floor dwelling to have a beautiful outdoor space. In order to avoid the opposite and the consequence of dark rooms, several works can be implemented.
