too narrow for socializing, but the fresh air is at a premium in manhattan

excellent use of the different outdoor spaces. the narrower spaces are expertly used primarily to give the great view from the inside, while the wider spaces are used for outdoor enjoyment.

direct living through arched french doors this tall is the kind of architectural flex that makes the outdoor space feel like an extension of the room, not an afterthought. planters already softened and blooming, neighbor sightlines close enough to wave at. the social promise here is obvious; the privacy, slightly negotiable.

too small for anything beyond smoking or lingering. but the views will make it a favorite spot for those.

lovely terrace with elegant landscaping, and goord views. if it were connected to the living room it would be perfect

it might not have the open feel that many desire, but the privacy wall is very nicely done, and offer protection from the wind.
