When it comes to modern rooftop deck ideas, the possibilities are endless. From simple lounge areas to full bars to outdoor theaters, there’s a lot you can do with a rooftop – be it a home, apartment community, hotel, or restaurant.

At Bison IP, we’re constantly involved in unique and beautiful rooftop deck designs. In fact, we like to call them rooftop deck experiences – because they’re never just rooftops.

To help you get the rooftop deck design ideas flowing, we’ve laid out some of our favorite rooftop decks. Take a look and don’t forget to save your favorite one for later.

Rooftop deck design at hotel

Framing the Ford assembly plant’s original water tower, this rooftop deck gives you both modern and old-time feels all at the same time. And we absolutely love it. 

Created using the Bison Versadjust Pedestals and 2×2 Smooth 8-Plank Ipê Wood Tiles, this outdoor deck is perfect for nightlife and private gatherings (like baby showers and networking events).

Roof deck idea for pets

Using 2×2 Smooth Ipê Wood Tiles, Versadjust Pedestals, and artificial turf, this perfect outdoor deck was created for furry friends of all shapes and sizes. It’s a simple, yet creative use of rooftop space.

Rooftop deck with pool

Who doesn’t like a rooftop deck with a pool? No one we know. This vibrant rooftop deck idea was pulled off using Bison Versadjust Pedestals, 2CM Pavers, and Paver Trays. As far as outdoor spaces go, this is a win in our book.

Relaxing rooftop deck design

When it comes to wood decking designs, this space is definitely at the top of our list. The various textures and tones found in our slip-resistant Bison 2×2 Ribbed Ipê Wood Tiles creates a unique look and feel. This deck offers just the right amount of laidback lighting, free space, and comfortable seating areas.

Lush rooftop deck for outdoor dining

This stunning outdoor deck is supported by Bison ScrewJack Pedestals and topped off with 30×30 Smooth Ipê Wood Tiles. With enough space for a dining area and plenty of lush trees and foliage, this is one oasis anyone would love to lounge in.

Low maintenance residential rooftop deck

Even though we can’t all have a stunning outdoor roof deck in our home, it’s still a lot of fun to dream about. And when we dream about residential rooftop decks, 9 times out of 10 we’re dreaming about this one. 

Built using Bison Ipê Wood Tiles, this outdoor deck was made to be extremely low maintenance. In fact, the wood tiles used for this outdoor deck consist of super dense hardwood – meaning it will require zero maintenance for years to come (and look absolutely gorgeous the entire time).

Vegetable-inspired rooftop deck design

If you have an organic café on site, why not leverage unused rooftop space as a vegetable garden? That’s was this company's brilliant idea. Designed and built using Bison Wood Deck Tiles and Versadjust Pedestals, this is now the perfect spot for vegetable containers

And did we mention that it also includes a miniature golf course?

Chic rooftop deck for luxury apartments

Leveraging custom stone pavers and Bison Versadjust Pedestals, this outdoor living area was furnished with a fire pit, potted plants, coffee tables, seating, and an outdoor theater. This modern deck has officially become a major selling point for this apartment community.
