Schwartz and Architecture
This house addition on a typical San Francisco lot doubles the size of the existing non-descript 1954 "Contractor's Special". Our strategy carves out a series of strongly contained, yet open, outdoor rooms that carefully balance between engaging the site's expansive urban views and maintaining a distinctly private domestic realm. The initial move is to carve a new small internal outdoor courtyard and entry out of one of the existing bedrooms, bringing light into the center of the new scheme. The rear façade and third floor roof decks build on this strategy of carving voids out of a solid mass—perhaps an apt image of the way many urbanites create their private homes within the density of the city.

added by Kit Pollard to Deck Days
Some decks look like an afterthought - like they were tacked onto a house just because. Not this one. I love these giant doors and the way they connect the deck to the inside. It's one seamless living space.
added by Kit Pollard to Help Me Design My Wine Cellar - Please!
I included this photo because I'm drawn to how warm the space inside looks, even though it's very open. Since the wine cellar is so small, maybe cozy and warm is the way to go?
added by Jeanne Grunert to Modern Patio Designs
The large floor-to-ceiling windows and glass door provide an expansive feel from this elegant rooftop apartment onto the modern patio. Softly spotlit trees in planters next to the doors and wood decking add natural texture. Additional lighting over the door spotlights the area while adding to safety and security.
added by Margaret Everton to Into the Outdoors
Another great flow, another great patio.
added by John Hill to Regional Modern: San Francisco Opens to the View
A third-floor roof deck gives the owners a lovely retreat that is private, but still part of the city. The combination of stucco and wood is used throughout the project, but here the amount of glass is generous, allowing more openness and better views.
