The post- and-beam home has been a complete top to bottom custom renovation by its Architect owner, who has meticulously restored and maintained the home and is now proud to present it to the market. Deck House as a company was founded in 1959 by William Berkes and Robert Brownell. Both worked as young architects focused on building prefab Tech-built houses; this was the beginning of the Mid-Century modern movement.
