Create Inspiring Spacious Terrace Designs for Versatile Outdoor Living-Terrace Space Creation for App

This week, we wrapped up the "Terrace Space Creation for App" competition, attracting 251 participants who submitted an impressive total of 621 designs. Unlike typical balconies, terraces serve as expansive, roofless outdoor platforms at ground level, ideal for connecting with nature and enriching indoor-outdoor family living. The competition challenged designers to create spacious, functional terraces that blend comfort, leisure, gatherings, and personal style—truly turning every outdoor moment into a wonderful experience. This event, a sub-venue of the AIDA design competition, showcased innovative ideas emphasizing versatile and distinctive terrace spaces.
