this photo shows interior rooms, not the terrace itself, which tells you something about marketing priorities. ten feet of width on a direct living setup is solidly usable, enough for a proper table and a few guests who actually like each other. three hundred square feet with city views north and west, some neighbor sightlines to navigate. coffee for one works fine; dinner for six requires strategic seating arrangements and a tolerance for being observed.

terraces with direct rive view are a rare breed, and it makes this terrace special, regardless of its size.

a living level terrace with 19 feet of width is doing real work. lounge zone, dining for six, fire pit corner, all distinct and none competing for space. the cedar planters are young but filling in nicely. neighbors can see you; you can see the skyline. fair trade, honestly.

the main outdoor spaces for this apartment are balconies, and the only terrace has almost no value,as it is only accessible through a common space, and has very restricted view, with most of the views take up by the elevator shaft of the neighboring new construction.

large underdeveloped space that will need some tlc and a lot of planters to be the standout space is should be.

six thousand square feet of private roof with a direct connection, which is the kind of space that makes you wonder what the other terraces in the city are even doing. width over thirty feet means you could host a proper dinner party in one corner and forget anyone else is there. the sculpture is a choice, but it proves the point: this is gallery scale outdoors. city and water views, solid sun, neighbors apparently elsewhere. a true penthouse terrace built for someone who takes their sky seriously.
