A narrow, long space like that can feel like a challenge, but if you figure out how you want to use the space before you start designing you will find a lot more success and fewer headaches. Here are some considerations before you start your plan: How much does privacy matter, and not just from neighbors but privacy from the indoors to the outdoors (considering you glass walls and ceilings you’ll need to think about how the space will work from both the inside and the outside). How do you plan to use the space? More specifically, do you plan to host lots of big parties or are you looking for a quiet place to enjoy your morning coffee? Or both? What is the material of your boundary wall? How can you use the wall to enhance the design and functionality of the space? Could you grow a vining plant up the wall for more greenery, or add narrow planters at the base of the wall for a vegetable garden? Do you want any type of covering for the space, like a pergola, roof, umbrella or other sun covering? Do you want it for the full space or just one area? What is your budget? Depending on your goals and timeline for the project, you might have to adjust the rest of the plan (if you don’t have the budget to make your dream space happen, consider taking the project on in phases and slowly save up to make the next phase happen). In the meantime, we’ve created alist of considerations before you start a landscaping project, as well as ideas for pergolas, andpatio lighting ideas. Here are a few images to get your design wheels turning:

Need more information...........what is the height variation or fall from the elevation at the top of the stair and where the run would end at the lower landing? What is the length of the run in a horizontal measurement? These are all factors in the code compliant design of the stairs.......not just the width.

Thank you all for your reply ,much appreciated. Since the size is rectangular I feel more of modern look. I would love to have a Victorian or a classy look though. Also I am allowed to construct roughly around 1800 to 1900 sqft. The plot entry is from the width(10sqmtr) side, so some more restriction. I am from Mumbai (India ) , the climate here is kind of extreme.Though the coolest can go max to 10 degree Celsius and the hottest can go max 45 degree Celsius. This will be my dream place where I would like to call in friends and family, though there is no pool , I would like to have a plunge pool kind of at the rooftop.A small sitting lounge to entertain guest. Sine it a small size , I am limited to doing all this stuff mostly at the roof top. Please advice.Thank you

OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.
