When friends told me recently that they were moving into an apartment with a lanai, I smiled indulgently and hoped they didn\u2019t realize I had no idea what they were talking about! To be honest, my first guest was that it was some kind of indoor conservatory, <\/strong>but as often happens in these situations, the conversation moved off the subject, leaving me with a silly grin and none the wiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have highlighted the major differences between a terrace and a lanai for ease below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A lanai has:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A terrace is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A lanai is open-sided with a roof and is called a veranda, porch, or patio, depending on your location. The word is Hawaiian in origin, and many hotels, homes, and guesthouses in Hawaii feature lanais prominently<\/strong>. Typically, it is included in the floor plans of a home and has a concrete floor, which is often later tiled or covered in decking, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terraced homes are usually called brownstones in the US but are still called terraced housing in Great Britain. In essence, they are homes that share side walls with their neighbors and usually have the same fa\u0107ade.<\/strong> In poorer areas of England, the houses are called a Semi or Semi-detached and are, for all purposes, a single house split down the middle. (Each has a bathroom and kitchen of its own)<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, a Terrace is very different and is typically an elevated open viewing space that usually hangs one floor above another terrace. These are often seen in high-rise apartment blocks or hotels, where each terrace juts out slightly further than the one above,<\/strong> giving each access to sun and rain. They can be enclosed, and in colder locations often are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This type of feature is an extension of a concrete floor and is included in all plans and typically built at the same time as the rest of the building. It was inspired by the rice terraces of Southeast Asia and the way those terraces make the most of each day\u2019s sun and rain<\/strong>. Some believe the ancient Greeks inspired terraces, but I could find nothing \u2018concrete\u2019 to confirm this.<\/p>\n\n\nDifferences Between a Terrace and a Lanai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
