With sweeping views of the city’s skyline, this Chicago rooftop was designed for lively summer gatherings and daily enjoyment, providing both privacy and openness.
Strategic tree placement and custom planters define zones for dining, lounging, watching games, and entertaining while preserving key sightlines to neighborhood landmarks and the downtown. A soft buffer of ornamental grasses along the north edge offers filtered separation from neighbors without compromising anyone’s views, keeping respect and privacy at the forefront.
A true day-to-night rooftop, a custom fire table was also added to anchor the space, creating a warm, inviting hub for evening conversation and connection well into the evening hours.
