After a while, because of new laws owners of some buildings with a higher occupancy rate were forced to reduce that area and the main useful space of the apartment. This is how 30 square meters Terrace remained in the apartment. According to the mentioned feature of this terrace, although it was on the fourth floor, there was not any roof above it. It was a great opportunity to experience a courtyard on the top floors so as to restore the old courtyard concept of the villa with a new approach.
