beforenotice the grade comes down the hill....but there still isn't any connection... | after.....we used the natural grade to spill both the pools as well as the steps down to the basement level..... | beforethe deck is reaching out there..... it is a pretty view.... |
afterso the trellis adds to that in-between-space you need outside....softens the transition between inside and outside....the pool cabana in the distance | AfterThe decks with the trellis soften the connection between inside & outside.... | after the remodeling....the connection and relationship between house/deck/pool/cabana are visible here..... |
