proper penthouse rooftop with the skyline arranged as a backdrop, not a neighbor. the sectional seats eight comfortably, the conversation area handles four more, and there is still room to pace while making a phone call. direct living access from a true penthouse is the configuration people draw on napkins when describing what they actually want.

too many terraces to keep track of (7) making the outdoor accessible from every major room. but the direct living terrace is the one that all terraces in manhattan will be measured against.

two lovely terraces, the direct living terrace has easy access to the kitchen, making it perfect for dining, while the direct roof is perfect for larger scale entertaining, and bbq-ing

while this terrace offers a massive length that runs the full span of the loft, its 4-foot width makes it a linear observation deck rather than a lounge. it’s a spectacular "standing room only" gallery for midtown views—perfect for a breath of air, provided you don't mind staying single-file.

this living level terrace might not have a view in a traditional sense, but peeking up an alley with fire escapes has its own new york charm

this terrace has the access, dimensions and layout to be great, but the lack of images worry me.
