Certainly something you don't hear about everyday, a backyard deck being turned into contemporary art. Apparently one executive at Apple wanting a deck that really looked mind bending. So he called on architect Thom Faulders to do the job. I thought when I first looked at this photo that these lines were just carefully drawn on, but actually they are plastic blocks specifically cut to make the weird shapes that make up what looks like a carbon sucking vortex. It also doesn't look like it from the photo, but I'm sure once you stepped on it you would be getting a bit dizzy because the Apple executive apparently said, "I wanted someone to barf when they look at it". From the design standpoint it is definitely top notch and really emphasizes the one lonely tree, which I'm sure they meant to do from the start. Needless to say, it would be pretty fun to get a look at it in person, which is probably the only effective way to get to experience it.
