Featured Outdoor Projects and Terrace Designs
We transform underutilized rooftops, poolside areas, and gardens into durable living spaces. This selection of work highlights our approach to materials and engineering.
This complete terrace makeover combines a Thermopine wood pergola, a multi-level deck with integrated step lighting, and maintenance-free artificial grass to create a stunning rooftop escape.
For this large resort-style pool, I crafted a custom curved deck using IPE hardwood. This material is ideal for poolside applications as it is extremely durable and resistant to water damage.
The final result of a rooftop transformation project, featuring a covered seating area under a new pergola, a polished wooden deck, and a lush green lawn space.
This rooftop installation showcases the beauty and functionality of IPE wood decking surrounding a pool. The wood's natural oils make it weather resistant, perfect for exposed urban environments.
A freestanding Thermopine wood pergola constructed for a public space at Surpura Dam, Jodhpur. This structure is designed to provide shade and a focal point in the landscape.
Here you can see the installation of WPC louver cladding on a poolside bar. These panels provide a modern, decorative finish while being durable and low maintenance.
My team is dedicated to perfection. Here, they are hand polishing every part of this Thermopine wood pergola to ensure a smooth, high quality finish before final delivery.
About Featured
One thing you will not see in these photos is the sub-structure work, but it is the most critical part of the build. Whether it is an Ipe wood deck or a pergola, we prioritize hidden metal frameworks and heavy-duty anchoring to ensure your terrace remains rock-solid against wind, water, and heat for years, not just seasons.
When we take on a project, our primary goal is longevity. In outdoor environments, wood is constantly exposed to the elements, which is why we rely on specific, tested materials rather than generic options.
Material Science
We work primarily with Ipe (Ironwood) and Thermopine. Ipe is our go-to for high-traffic areas like poolsides because it is naturally dense, termite-resistant, and stays comfortable under bare feet. For structures like pergolas, we use Thermopine, which is thermally treated to prevent warping and shrinkage in our climate.
The Engineering Process
An outdoor transformation involves more than just aesthetics. Our process starts with a load assessment and drainage planning. We ensure that every raised deck or artificial grass installation respects the existing roof slope, preventing water stagnation that could damage your structure over time. For walls and soffits, we focus on perfectly plumb alignments, utilizing concealed fasteners to ensure a clean, seamless finish without visible screws or rust points.
Hands-on Execution
We do not just supply materials. Our team handles everything from the initial site cleanup to the final application of protective oils like Bona Oil. We believe in being on-site for the duration of the installation, ensuring that every joinery detail is sanded and polished to our standard. Whether you are looking for a simple terrace upgrade or a full architectural facade, we bring the same attention to detail that we have applied to public landmarks like our project at Surpura Dam.
