Decks

Cliff Hanger:
This 'Crow's-Nest is a response to what I call (as a seasoned parent), Planned-Delinquency or, if you prefer, risk management. 
That's what this extension to this cliff-edge deck is all about. The home hugs an 800 foot drop-off, spectacular views, but when 'Buddha-babies entered the adult world it became time to safeguard the edge.

stepped cedar deck and hotub
What's a deck without a hot-tub?  Recessed into the deck, surrounded with a seating wall, and positioned for optimal viewing,
whilst 'chillin'.
Limited space is an opportunity to tune-in one's attention to detail in composition, choice of materials and execution.  Copper light fixtures will top this cascade of pilasters, providing both sculptural elements and a dance of light & shadow.
Plan views of cliffside, stepped decking system
Speaking of decks and edges, take a peek at the serendipitous response of this sculpted cedar deck.
A response to the limited space and threshold between screened porch and salt water pool.  After all, what man or woman doesn't appreciate salacious curves and cut lines?
