this terrace has a practical layout and dimensions. however, the metal railing robs the place of any intimacy while leaving you somewhat overexposed. the only way to remedy that is by using copious vegetation.

Expert Opinion:
pleasant views are the standout feature of this private hideaway, hidden behind higher than average railing and a privacy fence separating you from your neighbor. access through the primary is a minus.

always great to have some outdoor space, but in this case, the usability is severely restricted by the lack of fuse and limited width

Expert Opinion:
the distant skyline views from the lower east side penthouses are epic, and this one follows that pattern. the space is there to be practical, but little has been done so far to make it welcoming.
