INSTALL WALL-TO-WALL WINDOWS

The homeowners wanted a bigger area for the living room, so they moved it from the front of the house to the back, where the property is wider. This also sets it away from the hustle and bustle of the busy street. The almost wall- to-wall windows with screened sliding doors stretch 16 feet and open up onto the backyard. Wooden built- ins, which run the length of one wall— except for a small nook that holds a desk for the couple’s son, Iain, 12— keep the three main- floor zones ( kitchen, living and dining rooms) unified.
