Expert Opinion:
this rooftop cabana is too small to be a real draw for people to drag themselves all the way up and use it so what you end up with is a nice amenity that you will probably use a handful of times a year.

with wind protection on three sides. this terrace is very usable, however the protection comes at a cost, there is no outstanding vie to enjoy.

Expert Opinion:
too narrow for dining or entertaining, this terrace also lacks charm, but it more than makes up for that with vistas and a lovely hot tub.

Expert Opinion:
clear proof that high parapets do not detract from a terrace, it might reduce the views, but it can create intimacy, and when you have a full kitchen and good vegetation it make for a super spot for entertaining.

Expert Opinion:
this direct roof terrace provides the scale for genuine entertaining. up-close midtown views are the primary asset, though the "virtual staging" masks a space requiring significant work to reach its potential. it’s a high-impact project for those willing to sweat.
