Eugenie Residence — Chicago

This amazing property, located in the heart of Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood, already had a hot location and historic charm when new owners purchased it in 2015. During their extensive gut rehab renovation project, we were pleased to supply a set of bifolding LaCantina Doors to connect the beautiful new living room to this drool-worthy backyard setup.

Creatively arranged with multiple levels, the rear yard features a small outdoor inground pool (almost unheard of in this town), grilling station with dining area, and multiple hangout areas including a rooftop perch above the garage with a cozy fireplace.

With so many amazing features to enjoy, the homeowners and design team knew there needed to be a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor space. These folding doors open and glide out of the way in seconds, allowing fluid movement for residents and guests. Even better? An integrated Centor screen can pull across the opening to provide a bug barrier when needed!

The end result is a fabulous combination of ultra-modern fenestration and thoughtful, vintage accents — including these reclaimed “Medium Pink” Chicago commons provided by us.
