Concept Design
A schematic showing usage zones of the space. This appx. 1300-sf roof deck is located on the 8th floor of a building on East 22nd Street in Manhattan, directly above the 7th-floor residence. To the East is an 8-story residential building and to the West is a 7-story residential building followed by an 11-story building. To the North is a 6-story residential building, followed by a 15-story residential building, from which there is a clear view of this roof. There are no buildings taller than 8 stories for several blocks to the South. Winter wind will come from the Northeast, though it is somewhat protected by taller buildings. Summer breezes could be gusty from the unobstructed South.
