Solarium

Contemporary Verandah, Chicago

This sunroom was completely rebuilt to fix a number of issues. The existing sliding doors were cheap and all aluminum, the beams and skylights were in terrible shape, and the flooring was brick. The skylights are now high efficiency, the beams have been completely rebuilt and the flooring is a beautiful slate set in an ashlar pattern over an electric radiant floor for supplemental heat. Large deciduous trees located directly to the south help shade the space in hot summer, but allow full sunlight to flood the space and heat it. Photo: Kipnis Architecture + Planning
