Side Entry Deck
The homeowner wanted a small landing and staircase for his patio entry door, a sliding door with only one side that opened. He wanted something aesthetically pleasing but it couldn't take up too much room. By utilizing the space between the door and where the fireplace juts out we were able to construct a landing large enough for a comfortable entry/exit but it wouldn't take over the patio space. Angling the steps to converge in to each other offered an aesthetic solution to the odd angles created by the landing, and made it feel like the deck truly belonged there.
