Arazoo Collection Week 134: Residential Roof Decks and Terraces
City living is great, but the lack of public parks and private outdoor space can be a drawback for many. Residential developers recognize this too and now regularly include outdoor amenity spaces — whether shared or private — in their projects to command higher rents and sales prices. If you’ve recently designed a multi-family project for one of these developers, you know what I mean. It seems like every new luxury high-rise apartment building in NYC now touts an outdoor amenity space with lounging areas, communal barbecues, lush landscaping, and even pools. Our collection this week consists of some of the products that you might specify for a habitable roof, including walkable surfaces and skylights, shading structures, as well as lighting and furnishings.
Take a look at this week’s collection, and save one or more of these products to your project on Arazoo.
Ultimate Assembly Wood Tiles — Wood Tiles Wood Tiles made from ipê or massaranduba are a great alternative to concrete architectural pavers in an Ultimate Assembly®, providing warmth and charm to any roof deck. These wood tiles are fabricated from very dense, durable hardwoods that exhibit excellent resistance to weather.
This stunning roof deck employee gathering area is 12’ 6” wide by 20’ long. The Apollo opening roof’s unique system has remote control easy opening and closing operation, providing variable shading and light, and protection from inclement weather.
SONNEMAN — A Way of Light is closely connected to Robert Sonneman, the designer, and his commitment to modern ideals, innovation, and the extraordinary quality that is the promise of the brand. Perpendicular edges and faces form a prism that directs LED illumination from its open face.
This is a collection designed to provide the equivalent of indoor comfort outdoors, meticulously crafted to withstand the elements and look great for years to come. It sports aluminum frames pretreated with chrome and electrostatically powder-coated for superior corrosion resistance, hand-finished solid teak tabletops and cushions fashioned from the same comfortable foam used for indoor sofas but constructed to keep out moisture.
Kalamazoo Hybrid Fire Grill gives you more — the ability to cook with charcoal and wood as well. These revolutionary outdoor grills use all three fuels interchangeably and in any combination.
The GO OutdoorTable brings a new dimension to the communal table with integrated power that enables people to stay connected outdoors in the places where they live, learn, work, care, play and travel. In dining and standing heights, GO supports formal and informal activities, individuals and groups, in a variety of postures: sitting, standing, leaning or perching.
Glass Flooring Systems’ thermally broken SkyFloor® elevated units are an excellent option when incorporating walkable skylights into your roof paver layout. Their thermally broken SkyFloor® units have been designed to work perfectly within pedestal paver applications.
Ultimate Assembly: Stormwater — Ultimate Assembly Blue Roof Void spaces that exist beneath concrete pavers in Hydrotech’s Ultimate Assembly can now be used to store large quantities of stormwater. Pavers are installed on pedestals in normal fashion but at an elevated height to generate the needed water storage volume.
