The “Spaceship” — Peoria, Illinois

Winter might be an unfortunate inevitability in the Midwest, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a fully enclosed space. Check out this gorgeous single family residence we worked on several years ago in Peoria, Illinois — floor-to-ceiling windows and huge bi-folding LaCantina Doors grace all three floors of this hilltop home. When the sun is shining, the patio doors can collapse to one side, allowing seamless passage between indoor and outdoor spaces. In the cooler months, thermal breaks and insulated glass keep the living spaces toasty warm!

We love the way the sleek and modern indoor pool connects to the expansive deck area through this set of folding doors. The flexibility of the fenestration allows for a quick transition from tranquil, relaxing spa to swanky, rooftop party experience! Even buggy days can’t keep these homeowners down, thanks to integrated Centor screens built into the sides of every opening.
