Terrace or patio? Know the benefits of these spaces in an apartment

The COVID-19 pandemic and confinement have definitely brought about changes in our way of living and especially in our places of residence. The quarantine has highlighted the importance of having additional spaces, mainly open, and with the necessary conditions to enjoy our home.

In this sense, many chose to look for spaces with terrace or patio, as it provides various added values. Therefore, if you are thinking of buying an apartment, Luciano Barreda, marketing manager of the Navent group, owner of Urbania and Adondevivir, tells us about the benefits of having this type of open space.

• Grow plants. You can use it not only for those that are aesthetically pleasing, but also aromatic plants, or even fruits and vegetables. From your balcony, they will be able to grow properly thanks to the sunlight. Having plants will enhance your experience and provide benefits to your health. Similarly, by making your own garden, you can consume more organic food.
• Have a space for your pets. This can be the perfect place for you to rest, run or sunbathe. And if you want to add even more privacy, you can install various structures such as awnings or a sun and shade.

• Work outdoors. Today, many people work under the home office modality, which can have many benefits, but the routine can become boring and put your creativity at risk. However, having a terrace offers you the opportunity to go out with your laptop and work in the fresh air. Studies have shown that spending time outside can benefit your immune system, improve eyesight, reduce stress and increase creativity.
• enjoy the outdoors. You can take advantage of the fresh air in your free time in complete privacy, unlike visiting a park or any other public space. You can also use this area to install grills or seats that allow your guests to join you.

“Currently, there is a lot of interest among Peruvians in properties with a terrace or internal patio, because, as we have seen, it adds greater value to the house or apartment, and the offer of these spaces is widely varied.”, commented Luciano Barreda.
