When approached from downslope the arrangement of the house is clearly understood with the master suite atop, screened porch and sundeck below, and the living room in the foreground.

This three-tier deck is many things to the lucky family in this suburban home. The top third level houses an outdoor grilling station and peripheral seating for up to six guests. The second level features a generous outdoor dining area with wrought iron table and table for four. Custom built in deck benches provide additional seating and sidebar access for dining convenience. Deck lights provide the slightest wash of warn LED outdoor light on the vertical wood posts which house the black iron rail posts. The bottom level is a fully protected rain deck, for when Mother Nature decides to temporarily interrupt their outdoor family fun.

A stone walkway creates a dynamic entrance to your home from your driveway. Durable and strong, stone walkways allow for wear and tear without intense maintenance.

2013 NARI CAPITAL COTY, MERIT AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL EXTERIOR A family of five living in a Chantilly, Virginia, neighborhood with a lot of improvement going on decided to do a project of their own. An active family, they decided their old deck was ragged, beat up and needed revamping. After discussing their needs, the design team at Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes developed a plan for a covered porch and a wrap-around upscale deck. Traffic flow and multiple entrances were important, as was a place for the kids to leave their muddy shoes. A double staircase leading the deck into the large backyard provides a panoramic view of the parkland behind the property. A side staircase lets the kids come into the covered porch and mudroom prior to entering the main house. The covered porch touts large colonial style columns, a beaded cedar (stained) ceiling, recess lighting, ceiling fans and a large television with outdoor surround sound. The deck touts synthetic railing and stained grade decking and offers extended living space just outside of the kitchen and family room, as well as a grill space and outdoor patio seating. This new outdoor facility has become the jewel of their neighborhood and now the family can enjoy their backyard activities more than ever.
