Simply filling the space between the new screened porch and the garage wall was of course a bit too simple. The design had to support a large outdoor table, exiting to the yard, exiting to a future walkway towards the side of the house, and exiting towards a future outdoor kitchen area.
The deck was extended well past the outer edges of both the garage and porch, allowing for steps to be constructed on each side for appropriate egress. A clipped corner was introduced for some visual appeal that also narrowed and focused traffic to a narrower section at the very end of the deck towards the future food-prep area.
