twenty feet wide and landscaped like someone actually lives here. the mature plantings have created genuine privacy at rooftop level, which takes years and intention. a living wall, japanese maples, evergreen screening, ground cover beds. this second level terrace functions as an outdoor room, not a viewing platform. the limited sightlines hardly matter when you have built your own garden.

large roof with incredible possibilities, but needs to be developed.

this direct living terrace offers a pleasant spot to hang out and enjoy a birds-eye view of gotham city, however it is just a bit too narrow to be very practical as 5' is not enough for a sofa or dining table

although a touch narrow for a full dining table, the terrace is plenty big enough for any use, and together with the good views, and the mature vegetation, this is a lovely terrace.

large underdeveloped space that will need some tlc and a lot of planters to be the standout space is should be.

each of these terraces act more like balconies as they are too small to be practical, and being off the bedrooms, they clearly will not be used socially

views are good from this otherwise unremarkable terrace. a bit too narrow for some forms of entertaining, but some ingenuity can still make is awesome.

the outdoor spaces are less practical than the 800sf suggests, with the bulk of that space as a roof access terrace that has no direct connection to the home.

accessing the home through the terrace is rare in nyc,having that terrace surrounded with a privacy fence to separate it from the public walkway is just about unique.

the almost square layout means a compromise between dining and lounging will need to be made, the terrace off the primary is pure joy

multiple terraces with great practicality and excellent views. they thing that makes a terrace this elevated still practical is the protection it gets from the building.

this emery roth duplex delivers an impressive collection of outdoor spaces. the direct roof terraces on the upper level are massive 20' x 30' bookends, flanking a high-ceilinged living room for ultimate scale. downstairs, the living level and planting terraces offer secondary utility, but the roof deck’s sheer volume defines this trophy.
