Custom mid-century modern-inspired Deck House. The design of this Deck House model emphasizes the great room with a window wall overlooking the deck facing due south. The two-level home has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The upper level includes the open living-dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms and one full bathroom. The lower level includes one additional bedroom, the second full bathroom, family room and utility room. . Deck House was founded in 1959 by William Berkes and Robert Brownell. Both worked as young men for architect Carl Koch building prefab Techbuilt houses. The company, still in existence as Acorn Deck House, describes the design this way: “Deck House offers an efficient post and beam building system with exposed structure, making a powerful statement of beauty, strength and function. Floor to ceiling glass frames connect with the natural environment to create a feeling of living in the outdoors. Interior spaces flow freely, accented by a rich combination of natural woods. Deck House is a quiet statement about one’s own self-confidence – a home of relaxed elegance in perfect harmony with the natural world, inside and out.”
