Dropping the Hot Tub Off the Deck - Video

What did the family tell you about how they wanted to host? ????️

We put it to Henri straight, about Reclaiming the Charm, our whole-character home renovation in East Vancouver. His answer, in one line: Once the layout was finalized, that back corner was the natural spot for the hot tub, so it went in low and to the side instead of up on a platform.

The original plan for this deck had the hot tub raised on its own platform. But a platform that size eats deck space and splits the yard in two. Once the rest of the design was locked in, a different corner turned out to be the obvious fit, so the tub was dropped down to the side instead. That one change opened the deck up for real dual-entertainment: a lounge and eating area on one side, a quieter sitting area on the other, pass-through serving windows between the kitchen and the deck, and a covered section with a fire pit that works year-round.

It's the kind of answer that's easier to trust when you hear it before you've signed anything.

The idea behind this whole project: give every square foot of a property a purpose, instead of a "nice room" nobody uses and a deck that just sits there empty most of the year.

Got a question you'd like Henri to answer next? Put it in the comments.
