10 best rooftops for entertainers
1. Notting Hill Rooftop
Bordered by a container garden and a basalt stone wall, this rooftop designed by Adolfo Harrison in collaboration with Maddux Creative is the perfect entertainer’s retreat. Deep timber seating wraps around a central fireplace allowing for use in both the warmer and cooler months.
2. Kips Bay Rooftop
This New York rooftop surrounded by towering buildings offers plenty of amenities for outdoor entertaining. Large modular seating and a fully-equipped kitchen are positioned at opposing ends of the rooftop with plants and sculpture in between.

3. Redfern Rooftop
This generous rooftop in the Sydney suburb of Redfern is contemporary in design with a masculine aesthetic. Designed by Adam Robinson Design, this outdoor space plans on texture and pattern through foliage, materials and colour.
4. Case Inlet Retreat
Pre-dinner drinks or a nightcap anyone? This Case Inlet Retreat designed by MW| Works features a rooftop that makes the most of the view. The flat roof hovering above the living spaces creates a feeling of relaxing outdoors within the trees.
5. Russian Hill Rooftop
One of the best rooftops for entertainers is this San Francisco penthouse rooftop designed by Gast Architects. With a client brief for dining, lounging and cooking spaces, in addition to a sauna, this rooftop had to perform many duties, all the while maximising the sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Coit Tower and beyond.
6. Gramercy Park Terrace
This Gramercy Park Terrace in New York designed by Gunn Landscapes makes the most of the city views, yet provides privacy and ample space for entertaining. Low hedging protects the dining and lounging areas from the winds and adds a green backdrop. Integrated bench seating saves space while offering plenty of room for guests.
7. Newport Beach Residence
Paul Davis Architects has maximised this homeowner’s useable square footage with this outdoor rooftop space. The roof terrace features soft landscaping set into the timber decking as well as this private living area with an open fire.
