Lake Street Condo — Chicago

We had the pleasure of helping this Fulton Market condo owner transform the fenestration leading out to his unit’s patio(s). Working with REM Architecture, we came up with two different sliding door options for two unique spaces.

In the living room, we provided a huge, 12 foot by 12 foot, 4-panel sliding product from LaCantina Doors that parts in the middle, allowing fluid movement between the main indoor hangout spaces and the breezy back porch. For the master bedroom, the best fit for the space was a wide, single-panel “Glide” door — so named for how easily it opens and closes — from Quaker Windows. We made sure both systems featured insulated glass and matching paint finishes.

When it comes to choosing the perfect patio door, it helps to consider the two spaces you’re connecting. Bedrooms tend to be more private spaces, so an easy-open, easy-close door is probably right for that room… you’ll use it a lot to briefly step outside & check the weather! For more public areas, like family rooms and kitchens, doors that open wide and stay open are a great choice, particularly when you’re entertaining.

Got questions? Want to try out some options in real life? Give us a call and setup a time to come see our showroom.
