In an area like Tribeca, in the heart of downtown Manhattan, any scrap of outside space is a major asset. It's almost unheard of to have a roof terrace so huge that its owners hardly knew what to do with it, as happened here.

It's the full outdoor living package, all enclosed by lush greenery that also frames a to-die-for view of the city scape beyond. 'It's the dream to have this kind of space here in the city, especially at penthouse level,' says Damian.
