Outdoor kitchen on a city balcony with skyline views

Above the City

← Back to Gallery

Perched above downtown Grand Rapids, this private rooftop terrace transforms an urban setting into an elevated outdoor living experience. Framed by sweeping city views and a contemporary architectural backdrop, the design balances natural warmth with clean, modern lines, creating a welcoming escape from the energy of the streets below.

Designed by TruKitchens, the outdoor kitchen features NatureKast cabinetry in Natural Blonde OakKast, accented by contrasting black detailing and richly textured stone countertops. A built-in Wolf grill, integrated sink, and generous storage provide the functionality of a complete kitchen, while the adjacent dining and lounge areas establish distinct spaces for entertaining, unwinding, and taking in the skyline. Vertical wood cladding introduces an additional layer of warmth, bringing cohesion to the rooftop's material palette.

From intimate dinners beneath the pergola to evenings gathered around the fire feature, the terrace makes thoughtful use of its urban footprint, offering a private retreat with the city as its backdrop.
