nine feet of width puts this direct living terrace in functional territory, and the staging proves it. a proper seating group fits with room to spare. that cascading green wall on the left is a nice trick for softening the office tower across the way, which is very much watching. multiple access points mean you can drift in and out without ceremony. the view is city buildings, not skyline, but the light is good and the proportions work for morning coffee or evening drinks with three friends.
