Outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and spas can be used almost year-round to expand the livable area of a home without adding walls. This Westchester County deck design, with an outdoor kitchen and direct access from the family room and breakfast area created a beautiful dining atmosphere to make the most of a small lot and limited space for expansion. Often a deck or patio can be built without the variances that would be required for an enclosed addition, making it an excellent way to expand living space in the high real estate value area of Westchester County. Deck design needs to incorporate not just aesthetics, but also zoning, coverage, setbacks, soil and lighting considerations. An Architect can maximize the value of your investment by creating an optimal deck design for your Westchester County home.
