while the interior of this couples home reflected their modern sensibility and flexible lifestyle by utilizing a rich color palette infused with texture and pattern, simple and purposeful accents and stunning signature pieces, the same could not be said for their deck.

the deck is loaded with potential and a few obstacles to navigate around  as well.  The owners had some great ideas but needed help creating a cohesive story for their many thoughts . . .

the wish list

• texture
• flexibility
• future outdoor kitchen
• multiple zones
• bar / living /dining / cooking / storage
• camouflage the unsightly unit separation fence installed by the developer
• visually obscure the roof top units vents and mask their sound

+ having recently returned from a tropical adventure (fiji I believe) they loved the tropical feel but did not want anything too theme'y' and of course the exterior living needed to compliment the fabulous interiors.

the constant

• stay within or under the strict (confidential) budget for everything including my fee.

below is my solution for their project, which is flexible enough to grow with their needs and as their budget grows they will be able to easily add the layers that add visual interest and functionality.
