Azenco OutdoorThe owner of the charming family home wanted to cover the old pool deck converted into an outdoor patio to add a dried and shaded area outside the home. This newly covered deck should be resistant, functional, and large enough to accommodate friends or family gatherings without a pole blocking the splendid river view.

M A Jaworski Landscape DesignWinter magic in the sleeping garden is visible through the glass-paneled deck. Winter lasts approximately 5 months in Ottawa, as it has a severe Continental climate (USDA zones 4/5; Canada zones 5b/6a). A landscape designer who understands this climate is a must! Hidden under a blanket of snow are the outlines of composite wood chairs and tables, which stay outdoors, whatever the weather.

Mihaly SlocombeTwin Peaks House is a vibrant extension to a grand Edwardian homestead in Kensington.
Originally built in 1913 for a wealthy family of butchers, when the surrounding landscape was pasture from horizon to horizon, the homestead endured as its acreage was carved up and subdivided into smaller terrace allotments. Our clients discovered the property decades ago during long walks around their neighbourhood, promising themselves that they would buy it should the opportunity ever arise.
Many years later the opportunity did arise, and our clients made the leap. Not long after, they commissioned us to update the home for their family of five. They asked us to replace the pokey rear end of the house, shabbily renovated in the 1980s, with a generous extension that matched the scale of the original home and its voluminous garden.
Our design intervention extends the massing of the original gable-roofed house towards the back garden, accommodating kids’ bedrooms, living areas downstairs and main bedroom suite tucked away upstairs gabled volume to the east earns the project its name, duplicating the main roof pitch at a smaller scale and housing dining, kitchen, laundry and informal entry. This arrangement of rooms supports our clients’ busy lifestyles with zones of communal and individual living, places to be together and places to be alone.
The living area pivots around the kitchen island, positioned carefully to entice our clients' energetic teenaged boys with the aroma of cooking. A sculpted deck runs the length of the garden elevation, facing swimming pool, borrowed landscape and the sun. A first-floor hideout attached to the main bedroom floats above, vertical screening providing prospect and refuge. Neither quite indoors nor out, these spaces act as threshold between both, protected from the rain and flexibly dimensioned for either entertaining or retreat.
Galvanised steel continuously wraps the exterior of the extension, distilling the decorative heritage of the original’s walls, roofs and gables into two cohesive volumes. The masculinity in this form-making is balanced by a light-filled, feminine interior. Its material palette of pale timbers and pastel shades are set against a textured white backdrop, with 2400mm high datum adding a human scale to the raked ceilings. Celebrating the tension between these design moves is a dramatic, top-lit 7m high void that slices through the centre of the house. Another type of threshold, the void bridges the old and the new, the private and the public, the formal and the informal. It acts as a clear spatial marker for each of these transitions and a living relic of the home’s long history.
Heartlands Building CompanyAdding a screen room under an open deck is the perfect use of space! This outdoor living space is the best of both worlds.

Deck & Drive SolutionsThis deck had many design details with this resurface. The homeowner's of this deck wanted to change out their wood decking to a maintenance free products. We installed New Timbertech PVC Capped Composite Decking (Terrain Series - Silver Maple) with a picture frame in the center for a custom design feel. The deck is the perfect height for the hot tub. We then installed new roofing on the existing gazebo along with new roofing and an Aluminum Soffit Ceiling which matched the Westbury Railing (Tuscany Series - Bronze in color). My favorite parts is the inside corner stairs and of course the custom privacy wall we designed out of Westbury Railing Posts and Timbertech Fascia & Risers. This complete deck project turned out great and the homeowners could not be any happier.
PC Industries Welding & Fabrication, PCI MetalThis Downtown Jackson home is full of contemporary steel. The handrail and stairs are simple yet functional and were installed in sections and mounted to the floor and walls. Steel columns were positioned on the decks outside so the wood screen would act as a privacy barrier for the close downtown residences. A horizontal rail was installed to match the privacy screen that was installed. Each horizontal bar was shop welded in place and installed in one section. The emergency ladder was manufactured out of steel and installed under an external floor grate. Hinges were welded into place creating a trap door egress to allow an easy exit access if required. All in all, this Downtown abode encompasses steel and wood in a contemporary modern variation.

A beautiful TimberTech composite deck in the colour Dark Roast of the PRO Reserve Collection. Inspired by reclaimed wood, the heavy wire-brushed, low-gloss finish showcases the classic cathedral wood grain pattern on these resilient boards.
Of course, there are no visible fasteners anywhere with the use of CONCEALoc Hidden Fasteners on the grooved infill boards and Starborn Pro Plug system for the square edge boards.
A privacy screen located on the end of the deck features black powder-coated aluminum posts from HOFT Solutions as well as the same TimberTech boards used for the deck surface.
A line of coloured riverwash stone borders the deck for a tailored and professional finish.

Way Of Life ConstructionUnder construction in Laguna Beach: a 1,300 sqft deck remodel.
Our clients have added projects on top of the original scope of work, and we can’t blame them! This build is going to look awesome once completed.
Building a deck out of Ipe is not easy. Not only do we have create the grooves for the clips, but each cut and routed groove needs sealer before it’s installed. Our clients wanted to use 6-inch boards. In order for us to not have any cupping on the ends, we did not want to a groove to go all the way through, so instead we put our grooves only where the clips will go in.
Why Ipe? It's an exotic hardwood that is naturally resistant to rot and decay, is 8 times harder than California Redwood, and is guaranteed for 20 years without preservatives. It's also one of the most flame-resistant decking materials.
