The home’s deck extends outward toward a vista. General contractor McCutcheon Construction was tasked with improving insulation and installing double-pane windows throughout.

Rising from the edge of the pool deck, a planted overhang shelters a gym and sauna below.

Built around the twin trunks of a maple tree, the Campbells’ outdoor deck provides tranquil views of the lake and a chance for the family to spot roaming wildlife while enjoying their morning coffee. During warmer months, the wide space creates an ideal secondary dining room, shaded by the canopy of leaves overhead.

The private site allowed for generous windows and decks, but the Res 4 design could be adapted to a more urban setting as well. Ultimately, the Dwell Home proves that a manufactured house can be site-specific. The design, scale, and materials are appropriate to the climate and context.

The standing-seam metal siding was rolled on site in an effort to reduce waste. It was prefinished with Kynar paint in the color Preweathered Galvalume.

The large deck was falling apart when the Pfeiffers moved in, necessitating a serious overhaul of the lower level.

The White family enjoys views of pristine nature from the back decks of their home in the woods.

Brian and Markus are pictured here on the ground-floor deck. New stairs lead down to the basement level and garden.

With almost as much area dedicated to decks as to interiors, Peter Dwares’s house is truly made for outdoor enjoyment.

The roof deck, reachable by outdoor stairs, affords “the best view of the river” on the property, says architect Mark McInturff. The original stone wall divides the house's indoor and outdoor spaces.

A third-floor office, furnished with a Metropolitan chair by Jeffrey Bennett for B&B Italia, opens onto a deck that overlooks the backyard.

An L-shaped deck wraps around the house's ground level, creating a place for entertaining and taking in the scenery.

The broad deck and seating area are perfect for the Mediterranean climate and invite guests outdoors.

A large deck off the living room overlooks the hills of Noosa and the Pacific Ocean.

Glass doors make for an easy transition from the deck to the kitchen, where a painting by Erin Rachel Hudak hangs behind a round Saarinen dining table.

The Conine family engineered the stainless-steel chain-mail mesh curtain system themselves using bedsheets to mock up the design. In the final version, a sunscreen with grommets from Whiting & Davis blocks the blazing sun while standing up to the strong winds of the Jackson Hole valley.
