The rooftop garden is quickly becoming the most celebrated of entertainment spaces. Many posh nightclubs from Miami to London have embraced this setting, and word has it more are up and coming. So, if you have such an area a top your own home, or are in the process of designing a new home, this is a wonderful environment to add to your living space.

The beauty of the rooftop space is that it is defined by barriers, and as such can become a cozy, and intimate territory. Not to mention if you are hosting a soiree at night you might be lucky enough to enjoy the starlight overhead. That is simply not something that can be simulated in a manner that ever truly compares. One other added bonus is that any mess created during your party is isolated, and out of view until you are prepared to address it. The most quaint of rooftop gardens I have experienced was a wicker garden dining suite with a Parisian style checkered table cloth and tea lights. The aromas from the potted herb garden that surrounded it really set it off and forced me to quietly take some photos for imaginings of my own. These, along with many others, are filling a design photo album I keep under the bed. Now, if only I could get planning permission for a rooftop area of my very own.
