A contemporary design is just one attribute of this diminutive, yet appealing deck. An overall feeling of spaciousness is achieved in a small area (550 square feet) due to the creative changes in angle and space. This design would work extremely well on an odd-shaped lot, or where existing trees or other landscape features require some ingenuity and imagination to achieve a good "fit." Benches are built between matching planters in an area outside of the living room for an intimate seating arrangement. The deck extends outward dramatically to create a large area outside of the family room, with plenty of space for a table and chairs. Railings surround the deck for a finishing touch, as well as for safety. A simple single step down provides access to ground level in three different corners of the deck. Though it is adaptable to any size or style of house, this deck was created to complement Home Planners Design HWEPL00443.
