Expert Opinion

narrow "planting terrace", meaning it is ideal for vegetation to frame the view from inside. the central park view while standing up is perfect, but when seated you will only see sky without the vegetation.

Expert Opinion:
a direct roof setup with the graffiti hearts on the adjacent wall adding unexpected character. the decking is weathered in that lived-in way, two sectionals facing each other like a proper conversation pit. yes, the brick tower next door is watching, but at this height, who cares. room for six, maybe eight if everyone likes each other.

Expert Opinion:
this well sized private roof is under appreciated and completely undeveloped, with some planning it could be a nice place with great views, although its overexposure will need to be dealt with. and access is a nightmare.

Expert Opinion:
long and narrow at seven feet wide, this living level terrace runs along the east river with the queensboro bridge anchoring the view. the proportions limit furniture options, but someone's already figured it out with a compact seating area tucked against the brick. water views, morning coffee, one friend at a time.

Expert Opinion:
being in the middle of all the skyscrapers means that the view is limited, but that restriction does not affect your enjoyment, as this is still a nice terrace with room for most uses.

Expert Opinion:
west-facing with nearly eleven feet of width, which lands firmly in usable territory. the sectional actually fits without apology, and there is room to walk past it. city views in every direction, good light in the afternoon, neighbors apparently minding their own business. a direct living terrace that functions like one should.
