Lakefront Custom Home in South Barrington
A lakefront custom home in South Barrington, with a screened three season room under a tongue and groove wood ceiling built to look straight across the water.
A room built to be looked out of
On a lot like this the view decides the plan, and the three season room is where the house gives it the most room. The screens run full height on three sides and the deck boards run out to a black metal rail, so the water is the only thing in front of you when you sit down.
A room like this lives outdoors whether you use it in February or not, so it is built accordingly. The ceiling is tongue and groove boarded and sloped to a ridge, with a fan hung off it. Illinois weather decides how long one of these lasts, and that is settled in the framing and the flashing.
