Hi,
We would like to build a roof deck above our top floor apartment and wanted to get a bit of advice beforehand. Would it be possible to build a private entrance to it from the living room directly beneath the roof? Could we build walls or a fence around it to stop people from other buildings using it? No idea what sort of thing people usually go for, but advice is much appreciated. We are not in a historic district.
The roof is slightly pitched and also has a common roof hatch entrance that would have to remain for fire code reasons.
Lastly, any recommendations for companies would be much appreciated. Looking to get a quote and some advice if possible.
Thanks!
JP, Jock, thanks for the info. Jock, I have read a few of your comments on here. Would you mind emailing me at kissiffer4@hotmail.com? Certainly interested in following up.
Thanks.
You need to get a permit for this. Depending upon size it will need to be non-combutible. You could do a separate stair up and I would do a fence not a wall, but it is up to you. There are several of us architects here. Sound a few out and see who you are comfortable with.
