The long time owners of this home desired a new contemporary option that allowed them to enjoy quiet evenings on their oversized back yard, abutting Meadowbrook Park, directly from their primary bedroom.

With the installation of a four panel sliding patio door, access to the new covered deck was achieved. The new deck extends out into the back yard with a roof that seemingly dissolves the further you get away from the home creating various modes of lighting. Starting at the existing home, a fully covered area of roof provides protection during the Kansas summer storms that the homeowners love to watch roll in. Moving further out, the roof thins out to a trellis designed to manage direct sunlight, keeping the deck cool. 

Lastly, a vertical slat wall acts as both a visual privacy and solar shading screen working to minimize western sun while also providing privacy from the neighbors.
