updated design for their
loft’s penthouse rooftop
patio. “The rooftop patio was
outdated with old decking,

space but the old design left much unused
space,” Tessa says.
The 825 sq. ft. wraparound terrace faces
north with splendid views east and west
that include the CN Tower. Situated in
the exciting neighbourhood of Spadina

found Designer Lisa Aiken’s expertise was
“instrumental in helping us design the
outdoor space to maximize its functionality
for entertaining.”

temperatures. Lisa comments “We have to

how that affects their decisions based on
purchases for outdoors. I suggest furniture
