 10 Note the unusual angles and lengths of the steel beams we used |
 11 These architect-designed railings were simply and cleanly made from steel rods and flat stock |

 13 The exterior decking was designed to mimic the pre-existing interior wood floors, which made for an uninterrupted visual flow from the inside to the outside |
