Roof terrace

 Following a tip-off from my daughter, I went to drink tea on the roof terrace of the Metropool office and appartment block in Weesperstraat yesterday afternoon. At the end of this greenhouse corridor lies the actual restaurant called ZOKU.

To the left and right of this corridor is a roof garden with seating areas and a fantastic view of Amsterdam.

Like this view of the Skinny bridge over the Amstel and the Rijksmuseum in the background

 I got to talking with the designer of this roof terrace of Blooming Buildings and had an interesting conversation about construction costs and how much time someone needs to maintain such a roof garden.
All in all, it was a pleasant break.

  1. La terraza, disfruta de un hermoso espacio, con buenos adornos y plantas, que la embellecen, además de la buena mesa y sillones en donde se puede estar plácidamente sentada, mientras se toma una cerveza, con un buen aperitivo.

    La calle vista desde la terraza, ofrecen unas buenas vistas, desde su elevada altura.

  4. Roof gardens in urban areas sound good, but I can guess there are some real maintenance issues.
