proper penthouse rooftop with the skyline arranged as a backdrop, not a neighbor. the sectional seats eight comfortably, the conversation area handles four more, and there is still room to pace while making a phone call. direct living access from a true penthouse is the configuration people draw on napkins when describing what they actually want.

this terrace has the dimensions of a balcony, but somehow will feel more comfortable due its construction

well proportioned to accommodate lounging and dining sections simultaneous, and a good privacy barrier from the building across the street make this a very usable terrace

the direct access from both the kitchen and living room, along with the width of this terrace make it a perfect place for entertainment, it may not get a lot of views, but great sunlight is guaranteed

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.

this elegant roof terrace is proof of how much can be gained with great landscaping,
