Award-winning Multi-level Ipe Deck
A square deck doesn’t have to be boring – just tilt the squares on an angle.
This client had a big wish list:
A screen porch was created under an existing elevated room.
A large upper deck for dining was waterproofed with EPDM roofing. This made for a large dry area on the lower deck furnished with couches, a television, spa, recessed lighting, and paddle fans.
An outdoor shower is enclosed under the stairs. For code purposes, we call it a rinsing station.
A small roof extension to the existing house provides covering and a spot for a hanging daybed.
The design also includes a live edge slab installed as a bar top at which to enjoy a casual drink while watching the children in the yard.
The lower deck leads down two more steps to the fire pit.
No bottom rail, wide top rail
