Contemporary Townhome with Rooftop Deck near Tampa Riverwalk

This three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhome at 2728 N Ridgewood Avenue, completed in 2020, sits in one of Tampa's most actively transforming corridors — the Riverwalk-Armature Works district that has become the city's de facto urban center over the past decade. The architectural assignment was specific: deliver a contemporary residence at townhome scale that earns its address rather than just occupying it.

The 2,098-square-foot plan is organized around an open-concept main level — kitchen, dining, and living working as a single volume — with the gourmet kitchen anchored by quartz counters and a gas cooktop that supports serious daily cooking. The spacious primary suite delivers the quiet retreat a residence at this caliber requires, while smart-home features are integrated into the original electrical and AV design rather than added afterward. A full laundry room handles the practical realities a serious home needs to address.

The architectural move that defines the residence is the west-facing rooftop deck. The deck functions as a fourth-dimension amenity, capturing the sunset orientation and turning daily evening hours into the kind of urban-Florida outdoor experience that flat-roofed townhomes in the Northeast manage but most Tampa residences don't. The rooftop also extends the home's entertaining footprint substantially without enlarging its land footprint at all.

The location puts owners within minutes of Armature Works, Ulele, the Tampa Riverwalk, and downtown's restaurant culture. This project represents MTBH Studios' continued work in Tampa's most urban-density corridors — design-build delivery where architectural ambition meets the construction discipline townhome typologies actually require.
