This outdoor living area was an awesome addition to this customers home giving a dramatic transformation to the space in both form and function. In combination of Cedar and Redwood framing the deck space was enlarged nearly three time its original size. Doubling the width of the steps created an elegant invitation to spend time overlooking the existing pool. This was a concern of the home owner who spends a fair amount of time life guarding grandchildren. When all the kids are safe and dry, time for the guardians to relax in the elevated hot tub area where a mature tree canopies the festivities for a private feel to the space. The pergola opposite of the hot tub area prior to our arrival was rendered unused by must, now seems to be the Hot Spot, or lack there of.  Overhead timbers filter some sun, making an ideal dry off spot, while adding balance and beauty to the whole addition. This was a neat project for Spexarth design! We love smiling faces,) ENJOY
