SUNROOM LIVING
The large outdoor living area is protected by glass sliders creating a sunroom. When the sliders
are closed, the door leading to the main interior can be opened creating more air conditioned
space which greatly adds to the square footage of the home. When the weather is nice, the sliders
can be opened to let in the Gulf breeze. Motorized solar shades keep the heat and damaging
UV rays out of the home while leaving the view unobstructed which is a total game changer for
homes along the coast. The shade and slider combination means the furniture is protected and
Leah was able to put in dark wood pieces that complement the interior of the home without fear
of damage or fading. This modern indoor/outdoor space also features a new kitchen area with
better ventilation and counter space. At the end of it all, Leah is glad she had the extra time to
complete this project. “While it may not seem ideal, working on a project over a longer period
of time actually gives you opportunities to really pinpoint areas that aren’t working for the
homeowner and they have a chance to really see how they live in the space. Instead of making
informed guesses, I was able to really work with the layout and their lifestyle needs to create a
home that works f BEFORE or this amazing couple.”
