Family Rooftop
Private Garden – Chicago, Illinois
This city lot sits directly across from a large grocery store parking lot and the 606 in the Bucktown neighborhood with an abundance of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Privacy is of the utmost importance to this family with young children. Modern cedar pergolas with horizontal screening provide a sense of separation and seclusion on each of the three rooftop terraces. Large size porcelain pavers on pedestals are incorporated throughout. Custom raised aluminum planters introduce vegetation of varying textures, colors, and layers to the terraces as well as provide a safety buffer between the skylights and the kids. An outdoor kitchen and dining area is situation off the interior kitchen
