Midcentury Deck Design Ideas
Sawhorse Design & Build
A combination of cedar, tight knot decking, galvanized steel rails with stainless steel cables and 3 large sliding glass doors punched through to create this large entertainment deck on this split level home. Dark bronze aluminum sliders and windows throughout. Custom slat lattice to obscure underneath framing, create a deck that adds mass to a home.
This once vinyl sided, unattractive, split level home was brought into the new century in a bold way!

Created a multi-level outdoor living space to match the mid-century modern style of the home with upper deck and lower patio. Porcelain pavers create a clean pattern to offset the modern furniture, which is neutral in color and simple in shape to balance with the bold-colored accents.

We wanted the home to feel integrated with the beautiful surroundings of the Pacific Northwest.

The raised deck creates easy access from the house--the site slopes away. Thin cable railings minimize the obstruction of the view. A clever arrangement of wooden steps allows for predictable movement up and down the stairs as well as an impromptu seating opportunity. A concrete planter keeps unwary guests from missteps.
Quigley Decks
This was project where the homeowner had very poor views of their pool and patio area, and the beautiful surrounding countryside. Not anymore since the cable railing was installed on the deck

The upper floor plan is organized around the new central deck so that all rooms open onto it and receive light and air.

Midcentury Deck Design Ideas
Green Sheep Collective
‘Oh What A Ceiling!’ ingeniously transformed a tired mid-century brick veneer house into a suburban oasis for a multigenerational family. Our clients, Gabby and Peter, came to us with a desire to reimagine their ageing home such that it could better cater to their modern lifestyles, accommodate those of their adult children and grandchildren, and provide a more intimate and meaningful connection with their garden. The renovation would reinvigorate their home and allow them to re-engage with their passions for cooking and sewing, and explore their skills in the garden and workshop.
