Searching for rooftop terrace ideas? This is where copper comes in.
Natuross makes hand-hammered copper feature walls, parapet panels, outdoor kitchen walls, dining walls, and signs for rooftop terraces — custom designed for your exact space, made to your measurements, in any finish. Every surface, designed and made by hand.
The rooftop terrace is the outdoor room above the city — the designed outdoor living space that is as considered as the indoor rooms below it. The copper piece that makes the rooftop terrace feel as considered as the home it sits above.
Send a photo of your rooftop terrace, a floor plan, or describe what you have in mind. We design everything and handle the rest.
The Outdoor Living Argument
The rooftop terrace is not a roof with furniture on it. It is an outdoor room — the dining room, the living room, the kitchen, the garden — above the city. The design decisions on the rooftop terrace are the same design decisions as the indoor rooms below it — the surfaces, the materials, the character of the space.
The copper panel on the rooftop terrace wall is the same design decision as the copper panel on the kitchen backsplash or the living room feature wall — the surface that gives the room its character, the material that makes the space feel as considered as the home it belongs to. The difference is that the rooftop terrace is outside — and the copper panel must survive the outdoor environment while making the outdoor room feel as considered as the indoor rooms below it.
Natuross rooftop terrace copper panels are specifically prepared for the most exposed outdoor installation — the UV-resistant, weather-resistant, wind-resistant outdoor lacquer finish, the sealed aluminum composite backing, the outdoor-specific installation method. Every rooftop terrace installation is discussed before production — the orientation, the sun exposure, the wind exposure, the rain exposure, the expected patina. There are no surprises.

The family name in bold copper letterforms — the rooftop terrace named for the family that uses it.

"The botanical feature wall panel and the parapet inner face panel changed the entire rooftop terrace. Every dinner above the city, every evening with guests, the copper makes the outdoor room feel as considered as the dining room below it. The rooftop terrace went from a roof with a table on it to the room we use most. The copper made it a room." — Natuross customer
