Architect / Designer for Rooftop Deck

Looking to redesign and possibly expand the rooftop deck for a 35-unit condo in Park Slope.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  We are not looking for anything too lavish, but do want to create a nice space.

Many thanks!

The allowable area in wood on an open roof for deck area is 10% of the roof area. I am an architect who has done many of these installations and recommend interlocking rubber tiles for the surface area. Can easily be picked up for roof maintenance. ra10971@aol.com

I just came from a site visit to a multi-family coop regarding a new rooftop deck.  The coop president, who we met with, will be hiring an engineer.  You should consider consulting with an engineer.

We’d be happy to help out with your project.  We can suggest a number of options, including incorporating a partial green roof to lower a/c costs and extend the life of the roof below. Jordan Parnass AIA LEED AP http://brownstoner.staging.wpengine.com/jordanparnass
