In 2026, the terrace is the "Sky Living Room."

The Foundation: Waterproofing

PU liquid membranes are 40% more effective and allow tiling directly on top (₹120-180/sqft).

Amenities

  • Pergola: Louvered aluminum (₹1,200/sqft) allows app-controlled sun/rain management.
  • Greenery: Self-irrigating planters with smart drainage.

ROI

A well-designed terrace lounge increases total property valuation by 8-10%.
