An existing window was converted into a patio door, creating a new connection to the backyard. A timber deck, stairs and railings completed the outdoor access.
From window to backyard access
Before — original window
After — patio door, deck and stairs
A new way to enjoy the backyard
The original window provided a view of the yard but no direct access from this part of the home. Converting it into a patio door created a new entrance to the outdoor space.
A timber deck provides a landing outside the door, with stairs leading to the yard and railings completing the deck. Together, these improvements connect the interior and exterior spaces.
