rooftop decks

Building-top outdoor spaces

Rooftop decks are outdoor platforms built on top of buildings, typically residential, for leisure and entertaining.

They convert otherwise unused flat roof space into functional areas with seating, planters, or grills: The rooftop deck has views of the entire skyline.

Common in urban areas where ground-level yard space is scarce.
