Christopher A Rose AIA, ASID The floor is Ipe. We have gotten away from using Ipe recently, the popularity of it has lessened the quality as well as its not FSC certified (coming from sustainable forests). Not wanting to deplete tropical hardwoods we have gone to garapa and meranti which are in the same family, less expensive and FSC certified.
This beautifully varnished wood is the perfect complement for this traditional porch. The floor itself is kept quiet, neutral and unassuming, as to not compete with the gorgeous ceiling.
