Expert Opinion:
direct living with eleven feet of width, so you can actually arrange furniture like a human being. west-facing loggia setup means afternoon light and some neighbor sightlines, which is the trade for city views at this scale. multiple access points keep traffic flowing. a hundred fifty square feet that functions like more.

Expert Opinion:
a loggia rather than a proper terrace, but that travertine envelope and those full-height doors do the heavy lifting. nine feet of width lets the furniture breathe, though the glass neighbors across the way will know when you've had guests. direct living from what looks like a grand salon, water views slipping through the towers. the plantings are staged, not grown; someone will need to finish the room.
