Elevated Outdoor Living for Tri-State Estates & Rooftops

Urban Homes brings authentic interior design luxury and Italian-inspired craftsmanship to exterior living spaces across New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey. From compact Manhattan rooftop terraces to expansive suburban poolside estates, our custom outdoor kitchen solutions combine architectural elegance with high-performance engineering designed to withstand the Northeast climate.

Custom NYC Rooftop & Terrace Design

Designing an outdoor kitchen for a Manhattan or Brooklyn terrace requires specialized engineering and spatial precision.

  • Building Board & Logistics Support: We coordinate weight distribution limits, compact footprints, and elevator access to meet strict NYC co-op and condo board alteration agreements.

  • Weather-Sealed Construction: Marine-grade stainless steel and weather-sealed gasket systems protect stored items from rain, snow, and urban elements year-round.

Suburban Estates & Coastal Residences

For luxury residences in Bergen County, Westchester, and the Hamptons, outdoor kitchens serve as the primary centerpiece for summer entertaining.

  • Year-Round Freeze-Thaw Durability: Built using UV-stable high-pressure compact laminates (HPL) and powder-coated finishes that will not warp, fade, or crack under winter conditions.

  • Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow: We align exterior finishes, stone profiles, and cabinetry styles with your main home’s interior architecture to create a unified living environment.
