Shelter with character.

A custom 32 × 16 ft deck built from the ground up on a sloped Lake Norman property, creating 512 square feet of outdoor living space. Custom structural framing keeps the deck level as the ground falls from less than one foot to several feet below the surface. Precision-installed decking, picture-frame borders and carefully aligned boards give the space a clean, cohesive finish. Wraparound stairs use varying step configurations to follow the natural terrain, providing access to the yard from multiple directions while preserving the lake views. Thoughtful design and detailed finish carpentry bring the deck, stairs and surrounding landscape together.
