Designer Molly McCabe and her husband share a love of grilling, entertaining and watching wildlife from their deck on Washington’s Bainbridge Island. For decades, the cedar deck — built by the couple from trees felled on their pond-side property — served as a grilling spot and an outdoor play area for their children.

After their kids left home, the couple set out to reimagine the space for a new chapter. McCabe designed the new deck with aging in place in mind, while also shielding it from the rain that often put a damper on their grilling plans. The result is a fully covered outdoor kitchen, a separate bar and dining area and a seamless, accessible transition between indoors and out.
