Urban outdoor kitchens are redefining rooftop and backyard living in Chicago. From custom grills and cabinetry to durable, low-maintenance materials, thoughtful planning is essential for creating a space that performs beautifully in an urban environment. At Rooftopia, we design and build outdoor kitchens that balance functionality, durability, and elevated design for everyday living and entertaining.

If you’re considering a new deck for your home in Chicago, you’ve likely come across multiple material options—wood, composite (like Trex), and porcelain pavers. Each has its own pros, cons, costs, and maintenance needs. Choosing the right decking material depends on your budget, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Let’s break it down and see what our top recommendation is!

At Rooftopia, we believe in creating spaces that transport you to another world, and our latest project is no exception. Inspired by the enchanting charm of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved novel, "The Secret Garden," this lush and elegant private rooftop serves as a serene escape right in the heart of Wrigleyville.
