Take advantage of the ombre summer evenings and cooler nights with your loggia in the sky. Loggia, which is Italian for "lodge" can often be seen in museums, palaces, and other historic grandeur structures in Italy and Greece. In New York, the renaissance of loggias has officially begun, and we can't get enough of them this summer. Here are four loggias in luxury New York residences made for summer entertaining.

130 William's hand-cast concrete facade is a striking addition to the Manhattan skyline, especially the reinvented arches inspired by classic Lower Manhattan architecture. The top ten residential floors are home to the Penthouse and Loggia Residences, which offer expansive outdoor spaces with unprecedented views, including the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, East River and more. The loggia terraces wrap the residences from end to end, providing an expansive outdoor space over 600 feet in the air.
