Bay Area Modern - Whole house remodel
Modern Veranda, San Francisco
Front deck Although there was a front patio in the original house, a new deck was added to it, extending it out from the house to an acute angle, like a ship's prow. This affords one a greater view of the valley and bay beyond.
Redwood planks, 2x6, were installed with a 3/4" gap between them, to accent the geometry and to provide horizontal 'pull' counterbalance to the new vertical emphasis of the windows, stucco screed lines, and chimney.
Attached to vertical wall, not on patio surface
