600 sf Bi-level Roof Deck
Privacy Wall
Custom Storage Bench
Pergola
This large townhome in Fairmount was developed with nearly a whole block of identical homes all with existing pilot houses for future decks. The footprint allowed for a 600 sf bi-level roof deck but required creative thinking to allow for privacy.
This deck was planned, designed and built in tandem with the adjoining neighbor. This deck has a solid bottom wall and thermally modified poplar wood privacy rail on two sides. The third exposed side uses the same poplar material melting into a bench with almost hidden backrest and storage. The built-in side tables incorporate the legs of the pre-built aluminum pergola with movable shades.
