Burling Remodel — Chicago

When the new owners of this historic Lakeview property embarked on a gut-rehab of their home, they made sure to design a cozy and relaxing backyard to go with the updated interior!

In sunny summer weather, the indoor living room can be seamlessly connected to the elevated outdoor patio by way of this three-panel folding door system. The combined hangout areas gain a feeling of added spaciousness, while bugs can be kept at bay thanks to the integrated Centor bug screen hidden in one side of the opening.

Knowing winter temperatures would arrive eventually, these homeowners opted for “Contemporary Clad” LaCantina Doors — the wood construction offers superior insulation and energy efficiency, while the aluminum-clad exterior resists weather damage and offers a sleek, modern look. Four years later, these doors still look great in all four seasons!
