This roofdeck highlights some of the best elements of outdoor construction materials. Highlighted with an array of reclaimed timber including Elm and Oak to the Ipe decking. A steel and cedar pergola help frame the Chicago skyline behind the stone fireplace. Cynthia Lynn

This small but very detailed space has all the wonderful accommodations needed for an urban rooftop. Flat screen TV, grill, heat lamp, fire table, and storage. We took the pattern from the chair and recreated it in the fire table. This custom table ties it all together nicely. All while siting in a lush garden that surrounds the seating area. Making it cozy and colorful.

This kitchen is on a Chicago garage rooftop, with a space of only 19 x 19 it has created a few challenges, one we love to have. This project was fun and was one of the first pedestal porcelain tiles to be installed in the country. CGD pushing the designer envelope once again.

The addition of the kitchenette on the rooftop transformed the patio into a fully-functioning entertainment space. The retractable awning provides shade on the hottest days, or it can be opened up to party under the stars. Welcoming guests into their home is a way of life for the Novogratzes, and in turn was the primary focus of this renovation. "We like to have a lot people over on the day-to-day as well as holiday family gatherings and parties with our friends", Cortney explains. With both Robert and Cortney hailing from the South; Virginia and Georgia respectively, the couple have it in their blood to open their home those around them. "We always believe that the most important thing in your home is those you share it with", she says, "so we love to keep up our southern hospitality and are constantly welcoming guests into our home."

This wonderful rooftop space has all the goodies that a urban dweller could ask for. AOG grill, fridge, sitting bar area, custom fire table to match kitchen, custom Ipe/stainless steel kitchen table, Garden, pet turf, Porcelain tiles from Italy, Ipe flooring and a lovely open space to enjoy the views of Chicago. This rooftop is on the home stretch. The only material we are waiting for is the fabric for the top of our pergola, and the draps that will enclose the private space we provided.
