Timber Deck with Covered Outdoor Kitchen

Under a dark timber roof, this covered wood deck features a stone outdoor kitchen, potted maples, bonsai conifers, and rough granite planters filled with lush green moss in morning light.

Design notes

Japanese and zen design work by subtraction. Look for a few well-placed stones, raked gravel or moss instead of lawn, a Japanese maple or black pine pruned to show its structure, a stone basin or still pond, and timber and bamboo screens that hide the rest of the yard. Paths are stepping stones set to slow you down; colours are green, grey and charcoal with one seasonal flash of red.

What to look for

  • Board direction and how it changes the apparent size
  • Edges: built-in benches and planters instead of rail where allowed
  • Stairs wide enough to double as seating
