the homeowners had an aged, wooden entry to with stairs to their front door. Nails were exposed, and the wood was not in great condition. The same goes for their back deck. Although it had once been a nice size with multiple levels, they wood was aged and weathered and in major need of an update. Instead of a simple replacement, they decided to install composite and aluminium decking and rails to the front and add on a large screen room to the back. The front steps are made of Fiberon composite decking in Chestnut with Westberry Aluminum handrails in black. Fiberon composite decking is durable, beautiful, and low maintenance. Guaranteed not to warp, crack or split, this decking material can be counted on to stand the test of time and weather. The homeowners chose to use a treated wood for the decking and stairs that accompany their screen room. The screen room is framed in Sandstone aluminum framing that won't rot or warp. The tight fitting screen is in Charcoal and will keep out bugs and rain. This screen room was a completely new build, including the gabled roofing that was tied into the existing shingled roof. The finished entry and screen room make beautiful additions to this home.

Saturday June 20, 1:30 to 3:00pm | Greenwich Village Urban Aerie by David Kamp, FASLA, of Dirtworks Landscape Architecture, PC For their award-winning terrace design, the landscape architects created a relaxing setting using the same materials they employed on their client’s beachfront hideaway (as part of this Dialogue, attendees visit the terrace where they’ll also get a presentation about the beach property). Contrasts in texture and color are carefully arranged. Cedar, weathered to a buff grey, is used throughout for decking and set off in places with borders of dark round stones. The wood is carefully treated so it’s smooth underfoot. Two bow front metal perimeter planters overflow with grasses, which soften the edges. Strategically placed cedar planters with amelanchier, also known as juneberry, are used as a screening device, to frame dramatic views from the apartment and provide some canopy. A single pine, together with the juneberry, provides sculptural interest. All the plants, which are either native or naturalized, weather the harsh winter winds and temperatures.
