But it is worth noting that even if there are disadvantages, they are very conditional, and any of them can be eliminated, or a way out can be found, how to make the disadvantages less significant.
A house with an open terrace can be either large or compact. At the same time, there are always different possibilities for equipping a terrace. It can be either completely without a roof, or located under a common roof with the house, or even have a separate structure. Of course, although an open terrace creates a sense of space, there is always a risk of getting wet in the rain.
And in cool weather on such a terrace you will no longer sit with a cup of coffee, enjoying the surrounding view. But in a spacious house, where the terrace runs along the entire perimeter, occupies two walls or one of them completely, you can create a stylish design, divide the entire area into zones. This outdoor space will become a favorite for many family members, and for guests too.
Small houses suggest that access to the terrace will be carried out either from the kitchen or from the living room. On such a terrace, a table with chairs will be enough or, perhaps, just a cozy sofa with a coffee table, and a chaise longue will do.
The glazed terrace is already more often acquiring the status of a veranda. And such a room can be more solid. You can use it all year round, and even equip a full kitchen with a dining room there. For example, in four-room houses where families with two or three children live, there may be a lack of space.
