that boxwood hedge is doing serious work, turning what could feel like a fishbowl into something approaching a private courtyard. twenty feet wide with established plantings already softening the office tower views. a proper dinner for six fits comfortably here, and the neighbors across the way will just have to wonder what you're serving.

Expert Opinion:
the integrated greenery from the adjacent courtyard creates a lush, buffered sanctuary, masking the urban grit. while the dimensions offer solid utility for a morning coffee or a quiet evening, the layout favors intimate solitude over hosting a crowd. it’s a private garden retreat, not a party deck.

Expert Opinion:
narrow but pleasant terrace, the relatively narrow frame of the door along with its oversized opening, make this terrace feel more integrated than it is, and that is a good thing.

Expert Opinion:
this home demonstrates a clever use of outdoor spaces, where some of the smaller terraces off the bedroom and bathroom are perfectly used to creating privacy. the main direct roof terrace is exceptional in its own right with great vegetation used for privacy screening an excellent outdoor kitchen and even a pool.
