terrace
//ˈterəs//
Translation
terrace
Definition
A terrace is an outdoor, flat area that is usually paved or tiled and is often attached to a house, restaurant, or building, used for sitting, dining, or relaxing. It can be located on the ground level or on a roof, and it is typically surrounded by a railing or low wall. Terraces are popular in urban settings where garden space is limited, providing a private outdoor living space. They are often furnished with chairs, tables, and plants to create a comfortable extension of the indoor area. This word can also refer to a row of houses built on a slope or a level step in a hillside, but here we focus on the outdoor platform meaning.
