Edmonton - A patio in the sky

We had a spectacular staff meeting the other day in the penthouse of someone at the firm. Bison burgers and beer taste much better 19 floors up on a sunny Friday afternoon.

Enjoy

When I was in town last week I noticed that new penthouse on top of the Cambridge building and wondered what it was. What an awesome place! Thanks for posting the photos!

Did you ask them how much they paid for this penthouse? And what do they do with the snow in winter since they have that open air patio? It must be a nightmare trying to get rid of all the snow

Why does that matter? Leave it... We don't get that much snow here and and at that height wind does that job. Nope.

that's one fancy lookin' lounge in the sky you got there, edmonton cat. i'd hang there. but would it kill them to pot some trees or shrubs around the exterior?

Now thats an awesome penthouse. I agree with Gio. Some green space would do that roof some good. Some grass and a few trees would be like heaven.
