Notes: Andrew Tarr’s deck was dominated by bulky 6’ x 6’ spa steps that got in the way of his furniture placement. They had to go in order to make room for everything else. My objective was to replace the steps with smaller, streamlined ones and carve out areas for dining, spa retreat and lounging. My goal was also to give a more intimate and private feel to the deck, as there is a towering apartment building looming overhead.
