Expert Opinion:
despite 500 square feet and seamless access, these narrow corridors fail the utility test. the loggia-style coverage adds seasonal practicality and weather protection, but can’t fix the physics of a slim footprint. splitting the space between living and bedroom levels just creates two protected, dry areas that remain functionally stunted.

accessible via building elevator, this is a well proportioned terrace that has not gotten the same level of attention or improvements as the rest of the apartment, that offers a opportunity to improve

two terraces, but only the direct living terrace has any practical value. as the living level terrace is too narrow.

Expert Opinion:
these are poor pictures of clearly a very good terrace. the dimension suggest that it is perfect to have a dining and a relaxation area while still having room for a vegetation to provide privacy where needed however, this image only shows a sad place.
