Zone by zone
Where planters lift a residential building
Rooftop amenity deck
Load limits govern everything. Fiberglass keeps weight down where the structure has no headroom.
Courtyard & podium
The shared outdoor room. Repeating units give structure without permanent planting beds.
Pool deck
Chlorine, wet surfaces and residents moving furniture. Units must take handling and rinse clean.
Balconies & terraces
Private outdoor space where privacy screening matters more than display, at a size one person can move.
Lobby & mail room
The daily touchpoint. Interior units on finished floors, in finishes matched to the base build.
Co-working & lounge
Soft division between resident work areas that keeps sightlines and daylight open.
Site conditions
What residential sites demand
— and what to specify
Structural load on decks
Podium and roof decks have strict allowances. A fiberglass planter plus soil comes in far under an equivalent concrete unit.
Resident handling
Residents move furniture and planters themselves. Light units survive being dragged; damage re-finishes on site.
Long-term maintenance budget
Replacement cycles cost more than the original spec. Three-year commercial warranty and touch-up kits keep the deck looking new.
Irrigation and drainage
Amenity decks are irrigated and waterproofed. Drainage choice per zone protects the membrane and the units below.

Finishes that hold up
Six finishes we specify most for residential amenity space
Amenity space should feel domestic rather than commercial, so warm neutrals and soft greens read better here than hard contrast. Matte hides handling marks in high-use resident areas. Any RAL matched at no tooling charge.
