Decks surrounding the house allow for easy movement throughout the site. In order to make the house can unite with the surrounding, Bjarko/ Serra use special materials such as Western Red Cedar channel siding over a rainscreen system, Cembonit cement panels over a rainscreen system, Tigerwood decking, galvanized railings, standing seam metal roofing.
