With years of weather beating down on this poorly designed structure, it was time for an overhaul.
A very dramatic change from the original space. An indoor/outdoor element was conceptualized as a replacement for the original, dated sunroom.
The use of Marvin sliding doors with simulated divided lights brought harmony between the original structure and the new space.
Along with the heat from the fireplace, two radiant heaters were installed to make this outdoor living space comfortable in all seasons.
The following customized features were installed to maximize utility: low profile door thresholds; high energy efficiency truss webbing glass; gas connecting for outdoor barbeque; and weather resistant outdoor speakers.
Natural beached fir cabinetry makes for plenty of storage and a functional bar area.
Milestone wall surface, featuring an LED flat screen TV.
A double-sided gas fireplace was installed for added warmth and ambiance.
Nuheat floor heat mats under a natural slate tile were installed with comfort and durability in mind. The homeowners added two hand selected Italian Murano glass wall fixtures to add both function and elegance.
Cabinetry and milestone wall surfaces are accentuated by under and over cabinet lighting.
Handcrafted beached fir trusses were a great way to maximize space and add a high level of character.

Projects > Laurelhurst Sunroom

The primary scope of the project included a complete rebuild of the existing sunroom and adjacent outdoor living space.

Heated slate floors were installed in both the sunroom and outdoor living space to maximize use in all seasons. Milestone interior surfaces were installed throughout the sunroom, providing a warm, inviting ambiance.

The internal exposed beams and cabinetry were comprised of bleached fir. The Marvin sliding glass doors create a seamless blend of indoor/outdoor living.
