Combining Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

Enjoying the outdoors from indoors is the best of both worlds when grilling, relaxing or spending time with friends and family.  Sliding and folding glass wall systems using the latest technology allow indoor lounges and other interior spaces to instantly open up.  Transforming a room into an outdoor space without the barriers of doors or walls is very popular.  Here are two beautiful designs in the Washington, DC area I've photographed for multifamily housing clients:

Use Neighborhood Photography to Attract Residents

Neighborhood attractions draw new residents and boost property sales.  DC builders and developers often commission me for neighborhood photography to show what awaits new and potential residents.
