Ipe Deck in Brooklyn


Building Decks is not my usual thing, but for a very good client I will make exceptions.
The base is made from heavy gauge steel studs that span from parapet to parapet. This keeps all weight bearing elements off the roof itself.   All other parts are made from Ipe.  The 5/4" thick decking is installed with no visible hardware, and full length boards were used to eliminate seams. Stainless steel hardware throughout.





LED lighting strips were added to the pergola:

Grey Oak Veneer hidden Media Wall



Preliminary Rendering


The horizontal storage unit contains the devices for the television, (Cable box, Blueray and capacity for additions), and drawers for CD storage.  A Sound bar is mounted underneath the unit and is nearly invisible.
Cantilevered shelves will be used to display the owners collection of ceramics.
