Experiencing the outdoor life is possible for everyone with a little help and planning. This Chicago rooftop retreat offers plenty of amenities and unassuming charm in a limited space.  

The modern stone tile flooring contrasts the traditional brick walls, while the pale outdoor furniture brightens the area.
