Expert Opinion:
large outdoors located in three disconnected spaces, the views make it a potential canvas for something spectacular. although proximity to a cooling tower is potentially troubling for noise.

Expert Opinion:
a good thing about these low floor terraces is that they are very well protected from the wind, especially with a privacy fence like this, the only downside is if it comes at the cost of great views. if vegetation on and off to terrace will give it a very backyard feel in the summer.

Expert Opinion:
private outdoor spaces on every level, but the terrace on the top floor is the main outdoor with partial water views. the rec room on that level adds usability to the terrace and makes perfect place for a bar.

Expert Opinion:
each of the two roof spaces are sizable enough to function as a terrace, but the fact they are currently completely disconnected from one another will make at least one of them obsolete.
