rooftop terrace

Building-top outdoor space

A rooftop terrace is an outdoor platform or patio built on top of a building, typically designed for recreation or relaxation.

Unlike a simple flat roof, a rooftop terrace is finished and furnished for use—with seating, plants, or dining areas: The apartment's rooftop terrace overlooks the city skyline.

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