\u201cThe objective was to create a series of clearly defined outdoor rooms,\u201d Wesley Moon<\/a> says of the sprawling terrace he designed for a Park Avenue penthouse<\/a> on Manhattan\u2019s Upper East Side. \u201cThere\u2019s a living room centered around an outdoor fireplace, a dining room and a kitchen that also serves as a bar.\u201d The result is a space he describes as at once \u201cinviting, relaxing and resort-like.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built with New York City\u2019s meteorological smorgasbord in mind \u2014 as well as the busy lifestyle of a family of four with lots of dogs \u2014 the terrace \u201cwas kept simple, chic and easy to maintain,\u201d Moon says. Pointing to the horizontal lines of the sleek teak-wood enclosures, he adds, \u201cThe best part about this space is the view [which includes the famed Carlyle hotel\u2019s Art Deco<\/a> tower], and I like how the design doesn\u2019t distract from that. I also love how the kitchen and bar area anchor the brick wall. The pop of blue ceramic tile adds interest, and the pergola keeps that elevation on a human scale.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional details \u2014 Peter Lane<\/a>\u2019s 2018 rectangular Accordion vase standing near the backsplash, for example, and an array of large-scale terracotta and metal urns<\/a> filled with plantings by Brooklyn-based landscape firm Arbor & Folly \u2014 heighten the oasis-like feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Northern California, indoor-to-outdoor living is the norm, so keep a close eye on how those two spaces relate to one another,\u201d advises Holly Hollenbeck, of San Francisco\u2019s HSH Interiors<\/a>. \u201cAn outdoor room should be a continuation of the style and experiences found inside the home.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a ground-up, contemporary glass-and-steel house in Mill Valley<\/a> built for a couple of music-industry executives and their two Irish wolfhounds, Hollenbeck used color, texture and pattern to create a relaxed, bohemian<\/a> world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owners wanted a rooftop terrace that worked as both an entertainment space and a quiet refuge. \u201cWe designed the firepit and had it clad in geometric black-and-white tiles by cl\u00e9,\u201d says Hollenbeck, who offset that structure with a pillow-strewn Paola Lenti<\/a> sofa and a macram\u00e9 chair by B&B Italia<\/a>. Moroccan lanterns<\/a> of varying heights, a mismatched array of brass and clay planters<\/a>, a Japanese garden seat<\/a> and a red, yellow and black ceramic stool by the Venezuelan-born, New York\u2013based artist Reinaldo Sanguino enhance the free-spirited vibe. \u201cIt\u2019s very special and really makes the space,\u201d Hollenbeck says of Sanguino\u2019s one-of-a-kind work, which she found on 1stDibs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the balcony of a 4,000-square-foot apartment<\/a> located in the heart of Manhattan\u2019s Chelsea neighborhood, Petra McKenzie and Jonah Kilday, of the Brooklyn-based MK Workshop<\/a>, \u201cplayed with texture and warmth as a response to the building\u2019s austere materials,\u201d explains Kilday, noting that the apartment is home to a family of five \u201cwho wanted a private area to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The custom-designed MK Workshop sofa (upholstered in an eye-catching Sunbrella<\/a> Merriweather Terracotta fabric) adds pizzazz and neatly counterbalances the linear blue geometries of the building\u2019s exterior siding. The curvaceous sofa includes built-in planters lining its back \u2014 \u201cto bring nature into the space,\u201d says Kilday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patricia Urquiola<\/a>\u2019s Mesh marble-topped coffee table for Kettal<\/a> and Zachary A. Bitner<\/a>\u2019s deceptively lightweight Aileen side table<\/a> in resin, stone and fiberglass pick up on the circular rhythms established in the upholstery. \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful place to sit back and enjoy the New York City skyline,\u201d says Kilday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Alexandra Loew<\/a> was asked to reinvent a large contemporary Marina del Rey home<\/a> for an active family of six, she knew it would require some imaginative thinking: The house was originally designed for a diamond dealer and came with a shark tank and chess set<\/a> built into the roof and a disco in the basement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe focused on French high-modernist homes in urban contexts, particularly those designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens<\/a> in Paris\u2019s 16th arrondissement,\u201d says the Los Angeles\u2013based Loew. \u201cWe wanted it to feel like a townhouse of that era \u2014 urban, industrial and luxe \u2014 which is a departure from the typical beach vibe of Southern California.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set on the Silver Strand \u2014 a slender strip of land that runs between the Venice canals and the Pacific Ocean \u2014 the house has views of water in every direction. White plaster walls, discreet black-metal railings and planked-wood floors provide an International Style<\/a>\u2013backdrop for the sun-drenched outdoor space. Loew outfitted it with a brilliant blue Sabi sofa by Paola Lenti from which to enjoy the vistas, along with Lenti\u2019s glossy stainless-steel and lava-stone Sciari table and playful Plump Chain Outdoor tubular knit throw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that shark tank from the previous owners? It\u2019s now the rooftop\u2019s swimming pool, with a clear acrylic bottom that serves as the ceiling for the living room below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe outdoor terrace nearly doubles the apartment’s square footage, which is a luxury in New York, especially when you have growing and active children,\u201d says Britt Zunino, describing a penthouse deck she and her husband, Damian, partners behind the Manhattan-based Studio DB<\/a>, built for the home of a young family<\/a> in the city’s Tribeca neighborhood. \u201cThe main area has a full outdoor kitchen, firepit and retractable screen for family movie nights. There is also a sheltered dining area, a quiet swing zone and a more active area with a plunge pool and turf for the kids’ activities.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clients wanted the decor to feel California casual and easy, an ambience Studio DB evoked with teak furnishings and decking<\/a> and bleached-stone pavers. The plantings, designed by Dimastery, in Brooklyn, are lush and layered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The redesign of Round House<\/a>, a unique mid-century-modern home set on a wooded slope of Cheyenne Mountain above the historic Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, was a labor of love for architect Emily Summers<\/a>, since it\u2019s her family\u2019s vacation home. \u201cThree generations visit throughout the summer,” the Dallas-based Summers says of the house, designed in 1968 by local builder and developer Don Price for his own family. Conceived as a trilevel series of overlapping concentric circles, the structure \u201cis a perfect example of organic architecture,\u201d she notes. \u201cIt seems to float in the mountains, with amazing views of the city.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To capitalize on those views and blur the line between interior and exterior, she added rings of terraces outside the curved glass walls and installed a putting green on the roof of the dining room (for her golf-obsessed husband and son). \u201cComfort, flexibility and sun protection\u201d were always top of mind, says Summers, who designed built-in seating and a custom dining table<\/a> for the lower deck. Additional flourishes are provided by Kenneth Cobonpue<\/a>\u2019s Croissant sofa<\/a> and Lulu lounge chair<\/a>, a teak-and-brass Peter Hvidt<\/a> table and a pair of wood-seated Piet Hein Eek<\/a> stools placed near the firepit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Kathleen Ryan, of New York\u2019s Ychelle Interior Design<\/a>, was tapped to redesign a penthouse terrace atop the landmarked 19th-century Nolita building known as the Brewster Carriage House<\/a> \u2014 once home to the most luxurious carriage maker in the country, with Astors, Fricks and Vanderbilts as clients \u2014 her Seattle-transplant clients told her they \u201cwanted the outdoor space to give them the feeling of being right back at home in Seattle,\u201d says Ryan. \u201cThey also love to entertain, so they wanted it to feel like an extension of the open kitchen and living room inside.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roof garden, accessible from the living area by a copper-railed staircase, features irrigated plantings, an outdoor sound system and a full outdoor kitchen. \u201cWe added overhead dimmable lighting on strings, so all of the outdoor spaces have the effect of ambient twinkling lighting,\u201d says Ryan. \u201cThere\u2019s also a large grill and wine storage, so they never need to leave the space while hosting a party.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roomy bleached-wood seating with throw pillows upholstered in David Sutherland fabric \u2014 from the clients\u2019 Seattle home \u2014 provides laid-back perches from which to admire views that include the gold dome of New York\u2019s iconic Police Building and the puzzle-like structure of Herzog & de Meuron<\/a>\u2019s \u201cJenga Tower.\u201d Oversize zinc and ceramic planters sourced from the 28th Street flower district, a series of wood stepping squares embedded in the grass and a wood picnic table<\/a> found on 1stDibs further the sense of West Coast cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are big believers in keeping outdoor spaces simple and classic, much like our design for all interior spaces,\u201d says David Lawrence, cohead with Carlos Garciavelez of the New York\u2013based Carlos David<\/a>. \u201cSo, if the budget allows \u2014 as it did for this design \u2014 using custom-made planters and furniture is key.\u201d Lawrence is speaking of a rooftop terrace the pair created in partnership with Harrison Green landscape architects for a six-story Upper East Side townhouse<\/a> that is home to an art-collecting philanthropist-cum-clothing designer and her family of five. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little like designing the interior of a yacht,\u201d says Lawrence, describing their tightly detailed plan. Built-ins, including a striped sofa, were made to \u201cfit like a glove in order to create a more visually cohesive design.\u201d Against an English-garden backdrop of white roses, ivy, trellises and a herringbone-patterned Brazilian Ipe-wood deck, \u201cwe kept the color palette simple by using our all-time favorite combination of classic black and white offset with green,\u201d says Lawrence, noting that \u201ckeeping the colors and materials less \u2018busy’ allows the terrace to feel more spacious.\u201d More romantic, too, apparently: After finishing it, Lawrence and Garciavelez became engaged on the rooftop garden they had designed together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 1,600-square-foot terrace of a three-bedroom apartment on Orchard Street<\/a> on New York\u2019s Lower East Side, Timothy Godbold<\/a> took his color cues from the gray-black tones of the high-rise\u2019s facade. The Australian-born, New York\u2013based designer deployed dark-stained wood furniture from Australian maker Harbour and used hedge plantings to create separate areas for \u201csuntanning, dining and conversation.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young financier client \u201cwas mindful that the space should look good to anyone peering down from one of the building\u2019s higher floors,” says Godbold. “But he also wanted to create a sense of privacy.\u201d Godbold responded to those needs by selecting seating, tables and hurricane lamps with louver-strip details, to underscore the lines of the gridded cityscape all around, and artfully positioning the foliage for pockets of seclusion \u2014 a rare luxury in a city as bustling as New York. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
