Here is a spa deck with an unimpeded view. It features a split-level floor separated by one step (2 risers) running diagonally, corner to corner, interrupted by the spa with diagonal corners.

The lower level is at pool deck level and one step off the ground. The upper level sports a continuous skip-board seat along its exposed sides.

Note too that the deck corners sport frosted tube lights designed just for this setting. The deck is situated on a crest of a semi-arid knoll in Portola Valley overlooking the plusher wooded valley below. At night, all that disappears with the low level corner lighting making a red carpet of wood for an internally blue-lit spa.

Note that the diagonal corner of the continuous seat has no supports. That's made possible by the inter-lacing of the 2x4's at the corners.

The deck was featured in Today's Homeowner magazine July/August 1998, page 36, entitled "Picture Perfect".
