backyard-like in size and feel what this terrace lacks in views it more than make up for in practicality.

four thousand five hundred square feet of direct living terrace with the downtown skyline as a backdrop, and someone actually bothered to furnish it properly. mature planters lit from below, separate dining and lounge zones, triple exposure catching light all day. this is what a penthouse terrace is supposed to do.

currently not much of character, but the size is good enough for almost everything, and views are decent.

this photo shows interior rooms, not the terrace itself, which tells you something about marketing priorities. ten feet of width on a direct living setup is solidly usable, enough for a proper table and a few guests who actually like each other. three hundred square feet with city views north and west, some neighbor sightlines to navigate. coffee for one works fine; dinner for six requires strategic seating arrangements and a tolerance for being observed.

long but narrow, with limited practical use

three separate direct living terraces, is very rare, and very desirable as you have a different terrace for different moods. one for when you feel intimate or romantic, on for lounging with the family and a\one for entraining.

the main outdoor spaces for this apartment are balconies, and the only terrace has almost no value,as it is only accessible through a common space, and has very restricted view, with most of the views take up by the elevator shaft of the neighboring new construction.

the balcony above will give good rain cover, making this. great place to sit on a rainy day and enjoy the fact you are not in that traffic crossing the bridge

the size of this terrace is fine, but it lack any personality or views.

the standout feature of this small but pleasant terrace is the ambiance that is created by the architectural characteristics of the building. from to color of the stonework to the heft of the posts, it all adds to the charm

these backyard terraces are sometimes more like secret gardens, the advantage it they are quiet, but the tradeoff is they have no views. although this is likely virtually enhanced, it shows what is possible.

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.
