The Deck and Patio Design was truly inspired by the clients' 4' x 12' large picture pane window, on the bottom floor of the home. The deck rests on long spanned steel I-beams with concrete and stone pillar foundations that help maintain the very beautiful view of Lake Ontario. The clients were interested in a new upper deck space that could easily accommodate many friends and family, but could also be a comfortable perch in which to simply relax and enjoy the outdoors. A custom granite and stainless steel bar-top stretches along the deck rail, allowing for additional seating and a terrific place to enjoy your favourite beverage.

The on-grade patio space is great for dining, lounging and cooking your favourite home-made pizzas. Low pre-cast and stone capped knee walls create a perimeter barrier around the lower patio, while soft landscape lighting emits an evening glow within the space. Colourful perennials and shrubs have been added to complement the existing ferns, hydrangeas and trilliums.

The Design intent was to transform the tired shore-side facade of the home into something very clean, elegant and proud. It was important to extend the indoor living space through the large pane windows of the home, and truly represent the client's lifestyle and personalities.
