The deck adjacent to the master bedroom in the main house has views over the ocean. The chimney flue from the ground floor fireplace cuts through the corner of the deck, making the semioutdoor space useable even in cold weather.

The common areas are suspended and cantilevered over the backyard ravine, offering views of a winding mountain creek while also doubling the square footage.
