direct living from the bedroom, thirteen feet wide, south and west light flooding in. the planters are thoughtfully placed, the skyline view does the heavy lifting, and the privacy is genuine. at 210 square feet, it's a morning coffee terrace, not a dinner party. nothing wrong with that.

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

this terrace is safely tucked in the back corner of the building surrounded by the building, so it is very quiet, at her expense of a very limited view
