A rooftop patio space offers soothing respite.

Pea gravel is an interesting alternative to hard-surface flooring. It provides a softer floor for feet and offers excellent drainage, too.
Built-in brick planters create a textural counterpoint to the poured concrete walls.

Select sturdy outdoor furniture that can hold up to high winds and other tough weather.
A soft groundcover shields the ground around the container-planted trees.
