Modern Brazilian Ipe Deck in Bamboo Oasis

by: Evergreen Consulting / 4EGC

location: Tampa, Florida

This modern landscape, complete with a cinder block wall, is furnished with a wood patio made from Brazilian hardwood known as ipe. The deck is durable, yet beautiful with the warm, rich hues found in the wood. The clean lines, along with the natural elements of the greenery and ipe offer a modern yet exotic touch.

The landscape was a collaboration between e2 Homes, a Florida-based construction firm specializing in cost-effective modern design that is also environmentally responsible, and Evergreen Consulting, a firm known for creating energy-efficient solutions for their clients. Landscaping and hardscape design were by Evergreen Consulting. The architecture was done by Green Apple Architecture. Ipe wood for the decks was provided by Walk on Wood.
