Located in the foothills of the North Georgia Appalachians, Big Canoe is just one hour north of Atlanta. Designed as a dream retirement home, this luxurious lodge melds mountainous terrain with many custom features and modern amenities. During the warmer months, the homeowners enjoy spending time on their back porch, entertaining and taking in the spectacular views. In order to combat the biting insects, allow the cool breezes to flow through their home and preserve unobstructed views, the home owners requested retractable screens to be installed on their doors, windows, and back porch. Screens of Georgia, Phantom Screens Authorized Distributor, installed Professional retractable door screens on several doorways throughout the home. Providing natural ventilation while keeping insects out of the house, the screens blend with custom doorways and retract out of sight when not in use. Perfect for the oversized front double-French entryway, Professional door screens do not detract from the look and feel of the lodge design.

UMBAU EINES HISTORISCHEN FACHWERKHAUSES Ein altes Backsteinhaus am historischen Marktplatz in Leonberg: Außen muss es sich weiterhin in die denkmalgeschützten Fassaden einfügen, innen jedoch darf es moderner werden. Das Haus wurde komplett entkernt, alle technischen Gewerke wurden erneuert. Nach einer Bauzeit von nur 8 Monaten war es 2014 wieder bezugsfertig.

Vivienda familiar con marcado carácter de la arquitectura tradicional Canaria, que he ha querido mantener en los elementos de fachada usando la madera de morera tradicional en las jambas, las ventanas enrasadas en el exterior de fachada, pero empleando materiales y sistemas contemporáneos como la hoja oculta de aluminio, la plegable (ambas de Cortizo) o la pérgola bioclimática de Saxun. En los interiores se recupera la escalera original y se lavan los pilares para llegar al hormigón. Se unen los espacios de planta baja para crear un recorrido entre zonas de día. Arriba se conserva el práctico espacio central, que hace de lugar de encuentro entre las habitaciones, potenciando su fuerza con la máxima apertura al balcón canario a la fachada principal.

Die Loggia mit dem maßgefertigten Outdoor-Sofa ist ein lauschiges Plätzchen das zum Chillen einlädt.

A pouf and pillow has been a Moroccan tradition for hundreds of years, serving as a footstool or as an easy, impromptu seating option in a living space. You can bring that style into your own living room. Credit to @elramlahamranl / Instagram
