GARDEN TERRACE
Duplex Unit 3-4 enjoys exclusive use of a seven hundred square foot (700 sf) exterior terrace at the rear of the building. This ‘outdoor room’, which is enclosed on three sides by quartzite-clad stone walls, was conceived as a three-season courtyard for dining and entertaining. It expands the interior dining and entertaining footprint more than three-fold. Open the glass sliding doors from the Dining Room, and the result is almost one thousand square feet (1,000 sf) of continuous entertainment space from kitchen to garden.
On less formal occasions, the Terrace serves more modestly as ‘back yard’, offering a coveted, personalized outdoor room that is an integral part of the home. A built-in planter at the north wall can accommodate mature trees, and the reinforced concrete terrace was built to support almost any manner of green roof or garden envisioned by the residents. A walkable glass skylight (daylighting the Gallery below) punctuates the ground with striking crystal, recalling a fountain at the heart of a traditional garden.
