a private roof with a direct stair up from a penthouse is one thing. a roof access terrace six flights up from the street is another thing entirely. that said, 500 square feet of southern exposure with mature plantings, a proper dining setup, lounge seating, retractable awning, and open skyline views is doing a lot of work. the grill stays, the neighbors mostly don't. worth the climb.

Expert Opinion:
two distinctly different terraces offering different experiences. the seamless connectivity with the direct living terrace make it very practical despite its lack of width, but for real entertaining, one would use the direct roof terrace.

Expert Opinion:
seventeen hundred square feet of private roof with a retractable pergola, mature landscaping already doing the work, and city views in every direction. the decking is laid out for multiple seating zones, which is exactly what you do with fifty feet of width. a direct roof terrace that actually lives like an outdoor living room, not a promotional photograph.
