Project Description
FROM THE FIRM:
I was grateful for the opportunity to present my work on such a beautiful palette as this New Jersey property with its epic city view.
To optimize it, we lowered the outer half of the upper level to create the effect of a disappearing edge as you look over it. The lighting is subtle so you can navigate at night, but not so overpowering as to blot out the night sky.
The two-sided bench forms a lower-level, amphitheater-style seating area, and the cable rails leave the view wide open. I added the firepit because I always feel that a lower level won't be used unless there's a feature to invite you there. And the comfort of a warm firepit complements the view and extends the deck season into the colder months. The fire feature is 54" with a natural gas burner and decorative lava stone.
