Mid Century Modern Deck

By Lincoln Barbour

This 50s era beach house in Arch Cape, OR received a complete mid century modern overhaul by the owner Pamela Hill. One of my favorite features was this streamlined side deck. The lack of railings keeps the space open and doesn’t block any view view even when sitting. The modern furniture and tree stump table also elevates the feel this outdoor space. A lovely spot to watch the sunset while sipping on a martini.
