Scheme drawing terrace floor plan :
A Scheme Drawing of a Terrace Floor Plan is a simplified architectural drawing that shows the layout and key features of the terrace floor of a building. It’s typically used during preliminary design, client presentation, or for municipal approvals. Unlike detailed architectural drawings, scheme drawings focus on spatial layout and zoning rather than construction-level detail.
🧱 What is a Terrace Floor Plan?
A terrace floor (or rooftop floor) is the top-most floor of a building that often includes:
- Open terrace area
- Staircase headroom
- Water tanks
- Lift machine rooms
- Solar panels
- Utility/service rooms
- Pergolas or covered seating areas (in some designs)
