Roof term question

Anyone know the correct term for a enclosure at the top of the stairs on a flat roof.
Always looks like a shed .

Darn name escapes me.

Penthouse? Vestibule?

Yeah I often refer to the elevator room that way and vestibule would be inside.

I suppose stairway penthouse would do it but seem to recall a better term.

? roof hatches?

Wasn’t sure if that is what you were referring to, thus the link.

Something like this Bob?

Roof top - south end (front of building).jpg

Yeah something like that though what I had is smaller for stair entry.
busted window and had to reference it (used stair penthouse)

We use “doghouse” sometimes - probably not report appropriate either

Haha kinda looks that way.More like a small shed though.

Rooftop stairway enclosure ?

Found reference to “stairway bulkhead” in the NYC Code.

I like that one.
Must not be a real formal title.

That sounds like hatch.Usually such as commercial with the heavy metal door that wants to cut off your fingers as you balance on a rung with the other hand and praying not to fall 30 feet as you reach for the lever.

Cornish

NO…

:roll::roll:

Sorry.
A means of egress onto the roof BOB?

A Cornish is a side element on the exterior envelope.
Built as wind sheer and insulator for the last story.
On flat roof duplexes mostly in my area.

Bulkhead
