that bamboo screen along the west edge has a few years on it, which means privacy from neighbors without waiting three seasons. thirteen feet of width gives you real furniture options, and the pergola provides shade where manhattan usually forgets to. a direct living terrace with plantings already established is the rare case where someone else did the hard part.

glimpses through the glass tell the story: mature plantings already established, greenery softened by years rather than months. a 500 square foot direct living terrace off what appears to be a proper penthouse living room, with city views and enough privacy that the neighbors are apparently minding their own business. the sun and sightlines do the heavy lifting here.

the width of this wrap around terrace make it very pleasant, and the multiple access points make it practical, the one drawback is that the largest, most practical spot for entertaining is next to the bedrooms.

this direct living terrace is large enough to hold dinner parties and lounging, but it currently lacks the appeal to make it draw for friends giving this a home great upside potential.

blurring the lines between a loggia and a terrace, these outdoor spaces have the benefit of protection from the rain, but the heavy columns rob it that feeling of open sky views.

the size of this terrace seems to be decent, but that's all i can tell is there are no images or even renderings available.
