All Eyes on Deck

Fully Loaded

Dynamite deck design delivers on vistas, versatility, longevity and safety. This sunken banquette doesn't block the San Francisco Bay views from inside the house. Granite provides a weatherproof surface for the central and end tables, while the cedar-clad, copper-lined planter—fitted with low-profile lights to illuminate the stairs—greens up the deck's expanse. The Western red cedar decking runs in three directions, defining different areas and directing the eye outward.
