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:
