A couple that entertains for both business and pleasure wanted a grand room that would receive their guests in style, but also double as a sunny spot where the two of them could enjoy the view of their picturesque pool and garden. Energy-efficient floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with sunshine, illuminating decorative beams and moulding. A highly polished cedar floor reflects light from every angle, while a chandelier composed of wrought iron and gleaming crystals hangs from a coffered ceiling. The addition blends seamlessly with the existing home.
