This penthouse terrace on Lakeshore was reimagined in collaboration with a designer to give the space a modern, natural aesthetic. The original surface was finished in stone tile, but the client sought a warmer, more refined look.

Key Features & Design Elements

  • Ipe Tile Terrace System
    Installed pre-assembled 2'x2' Ipe tiles that offered a sleek, modular solution with the necessary clearance for guardrail compliance.
  • Directional Decking Layout
    Oriented all deck tiles in the same direction to maintain visual consistency, carefully navigating the terrace's curved architecture.
  • Integrated Lighting
    Ran electrical along the perimeter wall, concealed with Ipe skirting, and installed ambient lighting to enhance nighttime visibility and ambiance.
  • Custom Ipe Cladding
    Cladded all terrace columns and two curved ceiling sections in Ipe, creating a unified, high-end finish.
  • Outdoor Kitchen Installation
    Built a fully custom outdoor kitchen with matching Ipe cabinetry and integrated storage, providing function and elegance.
