Challenges & Solutions
The project needed to solve several small-site details: planter-box waterproofing, old brick holes from a previous garden box, a privacy wall with no specific pattern, and a wraparound step that transitioned into the sauna step platform.
A finished Ipe deck with integrated garden boxes, privacy wall, coffee shelf, and a step transition into the sauna platform.
Useful leftover material
Leftover Ipe was used to create a coffee shelf where an old garden box had left holes in the brick.
Careful privacy wall pattern
The privacy wall was designed so it would not represent any specific pattern.
