direct living at its most persuasive, with folding glass walls that erase the line between in and out. seventeen feet of width gives you a proper outdoor living room, and someone has already furnished it like one. summer kitchen tucked to the side, mature plantings screening the edges, city views without the city watching back. this terrace hosts dinner parties.

Expert Opinion:
that wall of glass swings open and suddenly your living room extends twelve feet into the skyline. empire state, hudson yards, the met life tower clock, all yours from penthouse height where nobody looks back. the width is right for real dining, real lounging, real life. northern and western light without the brutal afternoon bake. currently a blank slate, which is either an opportunity or a warning depending on your follow-through.

Expert Opinion:
the dimensions for this direct living terrace are decent, but very similar to many balconies. and with no pictures available of it, one can only wonder why.

Expert Opinion:
that living wall is doing serious work, turning a rooftop column into something worth looking at. seven hundred square feet at 18 feet wide, fire pit anchoring the lounge, dining for eight with room to spare. a few neighbors can peek over, but this is a direct roof that actually functions as an outdoor living room.
