Terrace & rooftop living — Nice, Côte d'Azur

Climate

Salt and UV Exposure

Promenade units receive weekly rinse recommendations and fixtures in 316-grade stainless where budget allows.

Textiles must pass fade tests equivalent to two Azur summers.

Heat Management

Mist cooling and fan placement are modelled for August dinners when stone retains daytime heat.

Light colours on floor surfaces reduce radiant load to seated guests.

Wind Roses

We plot prevailing winds per orientation; east-facing breakfast nooks differ from west sunset lounges.

Retractable screens store in housings rated for salt corrosion.

Rain and Drainage

Sudden storms need overflow paths; furniture feet include clearance above drain grates.

Cushion fabrics dry within two hours to prevent mould in humid September nights.

Winter Condensation

Furniture covers breathe; plastic tarps trap moisture against metal frames.

Pottery is elevated on feet so saucers do not freeze to tiles.
