The owners enjoy apartment style living at mid floor level with their bedroom/bathroom being accessed directly off the living/dining/kitchen area, a small split level is created to give a little privacy. The surprise feature of the home is the roof deck which enjoys the sites amazing views and provides a breakout space.
