Custom Multi-Level Wood Deck with Waterfall Stairs & Under-Deck Storage

This project involved the construction of a custom second-storey wood deck that transitions into a multi-level outdoor living system, designed to maximize both functionality and architectural presence. The upper deck extends from the second floor of the home and steps down through a 4–5 step transition into a larger connected lower wood deck. From there, a custom-built waterfall-style staircase descends toward the yard, branching across multiple directional sections to create a dramatic and visually striking flow. Crafted with premium wood decking and finished with wood railings incorporating aluminum balusters, the structure balances natural warmth with structural durability. The underside of the deck was enclosed with smart panel cladding, transforming the lower area into functional storage space while maintaining a clean exterior finish. Additional custom features include built-in benches and integrated flower boxes, enhancing both comfort and visual character. Solar cap lights were installed on railing posts, and solar lighting was integrated along each stair tread, creating a refined and illuminated nighttime presence. This multi-level deck stands as a true craftsmanship project — blending structure, design complexity, and practical outdoor living.
