These Five Redwood-Wrapped Homes Exude a Warm Welcome

6 of 6

When Orlando Soria's parents bought their 1977 home in California, it's safe to say that the interior designer loathed the existing deck that had been tacked on to the exterior. The previous deck had a corrugated metal roof, which was aging poorly and caused the area beneath it to be dark and uninviting. Soria designed an improved two-story redwood structure that forms an upper deck and lower dining room, creating a variety of outdoor spaces for the family to enjoy.
