teras
Teras is a term used in several languages to denote a terrace: an outdoor living space that is directly connected to a building and designed for sitting, dining, or relaxing. In Indonesian and Turkish usage, teras typically refers to a porch, deck, or patio integrated with a residence, serving as an extension of indoor living to the outdoors. A terrace can be at ground level or elevated, and may be built from concrete, wood, stone, or tile. It is often paved or decked, and may include features such as railings, furnishings, shade structures, and planters. Drainage, weather resistance, and structural support are important design considerations, especially in exposed or wet climates.
Types include ground-level terraces that extend from a house, rooftop terraces built on flat or adapted roof
Design varies with culture and climate: tropical regions favor open, shaded terraces with durable, low-maintenance materials;
