five hundred thirty square feet with eighteen feet of width is proper outdoor room territory, and someone has actually furnished it like one. the sectional and dining table coexist without either apologizing for space. mature birch and established planters soften what would otherwise be a courtyard of concrete and neighbor sightlines. west-facing means afternoon light but limited direct sun, which in july is arguably a feature. the privacy situation is honest: walls help, but the surrounding buildings have eyes. a living level terrace you can actually live on, dinner party ready, morning coffee acceptable.

those mature evergreens took years to grow in, and they're doing serious work screening out the neighboring sightlines. at 2,065 square feet with 40 feet of width, this direct living terrace seats a dozen people comfortably before anyone notices the courtyard orientation. west-facing means late afternoon sun, which is exactly when you want it.

the direct living terrace in this home is almost useless beyond framing your views with plants, but that is ok, as the direct roof terrace is very spacious and practical

plenty of terraces to choose from, so you will find the perfect spot for any and every occasion here. the only drawback is there are so may outdoor spaces, it will take a while to figure out where the party is.
