ABOUT THAT CREEK
ABOVE:
A babbling brook flows below
the deck seeming to wash
away the cares of the world.

How did Dollman capitalize on the creek and it's
soothing sounds? He built his deck over one of its
tributaries. Orienting the house so the deck is shaded
in the evenings, with a babbling brook flowing
below, extends the comforts of indoor living to the
out-of-doors.
Curious minds want to know about the potential
for floodwaters to ruin his hard work. "The house was
designed to sustain water flowing through it," he says,
"and the deck support is built to the specifications of
a bridge piling."
"What's underneath that support," says Duncan,
"is as big as a Volkswagen. That deck isn't going
anywhere."
"Besides," Dollmans adds, "for water to reach inside
the house, it would have to be waist high in the yard. "
The real wood deck, with powder-coated metal
railings, wraps around the side and back of the home.
A cypress ceiling with recessed lighting covers the rear
portion, making it enjoyable even in the rain. He also
designed the deck to support the weight of any future
room addition.
