Threshold: The house’s floor sits 2 feet (61 centimeters) above the patio level. Mohler bridged that transition by building a 6-foot-deep deck and a wall of French doors. Two extra-wide steps move visitors smoothly down onto the patio, and also double as seating when a lot of people are over. The deck is made of a tight knot cedar with stair nosings made from clear cedar. It is finished in Cetol DEK Finish by Sikkens in color Natural.
