What a spectacular deck—sure to elicit admiring oohs and ahs from all who see it! Designed to be absolutely spacious, with over 1,400 square feet, this deck features two levels—an upper level and a ground level. A railed staircase links the two levels for convenience. The second-story level is a natural for entertaining. The ground level is designed more for privacy, featuring screening and a secluded spa. The second level is actually three connected decks and can be reached by several rooms—all with sliding doors. Deck surface patterns change from area to area, reinforcing the feeling of multiple outdoor rooms. One rectangular deck is adjacent to the family, kitchen, and dining rooms. Built-in benches and planters are functional finishing touches. Just off the living room is a square-shaped section of deck connected to the family-wing deck. Around the corner is yet another rectangular deck, this one an extension of the master bedroom. It is smaller than the other two decks on this level, providing a more intimate setting. Taking the stairway down leads to the more private ground-level deck. Tall vertical boards provide screening and promote a sense of enclosure. A built-in bench provides the perfect place to relax. A short stairway (two steps) from this deck provides access to the ground. Note: This deck is attached to its adjoining house with a ledger strip to make the addition more structurally sound. Though it is adaptable to any size or style of house, this deck was created to complement Home Planners Design HWEPL00623.
