Sprawling two-and-a-half acres, Casa Tierra is an updated 1950s hacienda-style home featuring stunning panoramic views of its desert surroundings. It’s also the vacation home of Design Expert and Emmy-Winning TV Host, Bobby Berk. When planning his outdoor living spaces, Bobby wanted to showcase the surroundings without detracting from them, so he turned to TimberTech’s nature-inspired beauty for not just one, but three decks, including his newest — a spacious and stunning yoga deck.
Meet Bobby Berk
“TimberTech looks like real wood. It’s beautiful, low maintenance, and sustainable. Why would anyone use wood?”
– Bobby
While you probably know him best from the Emmy Award-winning show, Queer Eye, designer Bobby Berk also leads an interior design firm and creates a self-branded line of modern furniture and home décor. With such a discerning eye, his decision to choose TimberTech for his outdoor living space is high praise.
Looking for a light, natural color that complemented the Palm Desert environment surrounding Casa Tierra, Bobby chose Weathered Teak from the Vintage Collection®. “This TimberTech color is unlike any other I’ve found in the market,” said Bobby. “They’re the only one with a light wood color that actually looks like wood.”From the muted color scheme to the bright white stucco-clad walls, Bobby’s outdoor living space lives and breathes Southwest vibes — without distracting from the surrounding desert hillsides.Wood only stays beautiful if you work to maintain it. “TimberTech needs no sanding or staining. You install it and never have to worry about it,” said Bobby. “Plus, TimberTech Advanced PVC has a lifetime warranty, so you don’t have to replace it in 20 years.”Bobby wanted his outdoor spaces to blend with the environment. “Speaking of the environment, TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking is very environmentally friendly,” said Bobby. “It’s made out of mostly recycled materials — so, you become part of the solution and not the problem.”Bobby’s design philosophy is function first, then beauty. “In the desert, you really need things to function,” said Bobby. “TimberTech does that — and I didn’t have to make it pretty because it already was.” For extra functionality, Bobby added Impression Rail Express Railing with a convenient Drink Rail.Bobby and his pup love that TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking is splinter free — and that the lighter, Weathered Teak color stays up to 30° cooler to the touch than many competitive products.It was important to Bobby that the new yoga deck feel as natural as possible in the desert hills. “TimberTech is harmonious with its surroundings, but it gets the attention in all the right ways,” said Bobby.“Your deck should be a place of relaxation and fun,” said Bobby “not a place of work.” So he made sure his entire yoga deck was low-maintenance — starting with the TimberTech Aluminum Framing, which not only stands up to the desert heat, but is generally impervious to decay from rust, rot, insects, moisture, and mold.
