Deck

Railing

Q

Nice looking rail. Does not draw attention to itself. Preserves a sense of open space.

Q

Good proportions to railing

Q

Simple covering to begin with the in a later phase begin to make the walls more solid

Q

Beautiful color to the deck

Q

Art wall for neighbor

Q

Need pallets as landings when ascending the hill.

Q

Consider a natural roof planted with wildflowers or shallow root native plants or scatter nasturtiums over the area.

Q

This could be the place for the pampas grass that Stafford loves.

Q

Consider a pond at the downhill side of the deck. It could be nice to look down into a koi pond with lotus blossoms and water lilies. I could handle the fish up on the hillside.

Q

Beautiful phase two step from observation deck to art studio. Wonderful use of mirror to give the sense of a doorway.

Q

A set of rectangular planter boxes or even the raised planter beds to match the ones in the garden could anchor the top side of the hill.

Q

Perhaps a set of benches at the top with two lounge chairs for a total of seating for six.

Q

Beautiful shape to the deck. Love the combination of wood floor with metal railing

Q

Consider plantings under the deck to enhance the approach to the deck.

Q

Like the diagonals coming off each post.

Q

Beautiful beach view. Glass is perfect for this setting.

Q

Very handsome. Posts would not have to be as thick but I like the thing verticals on the railing.

Q

Painting or metal work as a privacy wall important for neighbor so the deck is not seen as an invasion of their privacy but rather as an added value to their property.

Q

Interesting railing

Q

Question: Do we want the railing to attach to the outside of the deck? It would give us more space on the deck itself. That way we would have the maximum floor space and not loose a foot or so on each side.

Q

Again close to what it would look like

Q

Probably close to what it would look like

Q

Consider an umbrella or two for shade

Q

Consider a feature wall with succulent type plantings, Mother-of-Millions or other California native plants that will survive well once they become established.

Q

Consider landscaping the hillside leading up to the deck. Consider the side privacy walls being louvered with the slants such to provide a solid look from above.

Q

Consider storage benches up on the deck for art supplies, flash lights, blankets, water bottles.

Q

Gives me the idea of cladding the lower pillars with slate for a more substantial look.

Q

Again, redwood with black iron
