Transformation of a Dutch roof terrace with walk on rooflights Back to all blogs | Glazing Vision Europe | Inspiration ‘Walkon glass, that must be incredibly expensive?’ Well, to produce glass as walkon design, it must be strong. Extra thick and laminated. That is what makes walkon glass more expensive than glass of a rooflight. But with the smart use of our standard sizes, walkon glass can also be applied cheaply. In this blogpost we will show you how Studio Bochanen designed a beautiful terrace using six pieces of walkon glass with a standard measure. A luxurious roof terrace with different areas On the roof of a former workshop in the centre of Delft, a luxurious roof terrace was realised, with different areas or conservatories. Thanks to the walkon glass enough light comes into the former workshop, which is added to the home as a multifunctional living space. Minimal design and clear structure The 130 m2 terrace area is divided by means of a clear structure and use of different materials. The minimal design of the walkon glass ensures that the glass element seamlessly fit into the entirety. The four areas give the terrace different atmospheric qualities: from lounging to dining, to gardening. Illumination in the steps, on the wooden decking and on the plant troughs ensure that the terrace can also perfectly be used at night. Implemented flush with the floor Whether it is in the wooden terrace or in the green section: the walkon glass is implemented flush with the floor. Want to know about how this is done? Read our article about this: “Walkon glass laid flush in the roof terrace floor”. More about this project: Portfolio Studio Bochanen
