这个度假屋顶花园旨在展示芝加哥的天际线，并提供令人兴奋的娱乐空间。计划要求包括日光浴平台、厨房、用餐空间、游戏草坪和观景平台。整个甲板由六个钢梁支撑，穿过外部砖石墙壁，绕过现有的尺寸不大的屋顶托梁。这种结构提升了甲板以扩大视野，并使甲板看起来毫不费力地浮在屋顶上方。

线性木板路线响应建筑物的狭窄占地面积，连接程序元素并形成向城市拉伸的轴线。一个整合的躺椅从木地板展开，提供雕塑和符合人体工程学的座位。私人时刻是由一个小岩石花园和一个带吊床的幽静阅读区创造的 – 这些沉没的空间是从高架甲板上雕刻出来的。

百叶窗荫罩城市景观和雪松墙提供隐私。定制的LED灯条水平安装在墙上，为一个艺术和动感的夜晚场景。人造草坪为娱乐提供了丰富的空间，并与耐旱植物进行了鲜明对比，因为它们在城市屋顶甲板微气候中茁壮成长。

This rooftop retreat was designed to showcase the Chicago skyline and provide an exciting space for entertaining. Program requirements included a sundeck, kitchen, dining space, game lawn and viewing platform. The entire deck is supported by six steel beams that tie into exterior masonry walls, bypassing existing roof joists which were under-sized. This structure elevates the deck to expand the views and makes the deck appear to float effortlessly above the roof.

A linear boardwalk responds to the narrow footprint of the building, linking programmatic elements and forming an axis which draws one toward the city. An integrated chaise lounge unfolds from the wood decking to provide sculptural and ergonomic seating. Private moments are created by a small rock garden and a secluded reading area with hammock—these sunken spaces are carved out of the elevated deck.

A louvered pergola frames city views and a cedar wall provides privacy. Custom LED light bars are horizontally mounted in the wall for an artful and dynamic evening scene. An artificial grass lawn provides lush space for recreation and contrasts playfully with drought tolerant plants selected for their ability to thrive in the urban roof deck microclimate.
