Expert Opinion:
it only 3.9 feet wide. these terraces are too small for anything but stargazing cigar, smoking and cappuccino drinking . but views are decent enough to make those regular occurrences.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace offers a footprint large enough to be a functional space for entertaining, but the immediate surroundings lack the visual draw to bring friends over. if you intend to use this as a true social hub, some serious work will need to be put in. it is a massive, utilitarian blank canvas that requires significant effort to overcome its sterile atmosphere.

Expert Opinion:
to narrow to have any practical use and the fact the windows are made opaque suggests the view is also not worthy, but that is a missed opportunity as that makes it perfect for planting to control your views

too narrow to get much use, but the view is pretty epic, so you may just want to walk out every one in a while.

Expert Opinion:
twenty-two hundred square feet of direct living space with mature japanese maples, layered seating zones, and room to host thirty without anyone bumping elbows. the plantings took years to establish. multiple access points mean traffic flows naturally. a rooftop this finished is genuinely rare.
