Peterson Residence – Paw Paw Lake, MI

Paw Paw Lake in Michigan is home to the Peterson Residence, one of the largest LaCantina Doors projects we’ve ever worked on.

Featuring a whopping SEVEN different fenestration systems, this epic rebuild features a two-part four seasons room. One half contains a gorgeous lake-facing lap pool, that is separated from the rest of the sunroom by a set of multislide doors. Those sliding doors intersect with a set of interior bifolding doors, which can be expanded out to cut off the sunroom from the living room… a feature specified by the wife, who didn’t want to smell her the smoke from her husband’s cigars!

The façade of the whole sunroom (including pool) can also be opened up to the lake via two more sets of bifolding doors. Integrated Centor Screens can be pulled out to functionally turn the whole room into a screened-in porch… or retracted to form a covered patio. This might be the most multifunctional, multipurpose design we’ve ever seen — no matter what the weather, this family has the perfect fenestration option to enjoy it.

See our post about their neighbor’s house up the street, which we also provided multiple LaCantina systems for.
