Summary of a Versatile, Decked-Out Screen Room
Premium Zuri decking and wrought iron handrails are just two of the many features that make this Bowie, Maryland screened porch so unique. Developed in a close-quarters community with large single family homes, it utilizes black railings that curve outwards along a rounded deck profile to enhance the sense of space one gets when on top of the deck or inside the porch. The decking itself is shaped to the contours of the property limits.
Motorized retractable screens turn the Zuri deck into a fully-enclosed, bug protected seating and entertainment area at the push of a button. However, to achieve the versatility of a true four seasons outdoor living space, an outdoor fan and multiple infrared heaters were unobtrusively installed to the porch's ceiling as well.
An army of lighting elements ensure that this deck can be used at any time of day. Multiple skylights allow light into the screen room during the day, while sconce lighting, mounted pillar fixtures, ceiling lights, and illuminated stained glass railing heads provide visibility on even the darkest nights.

We live in a beautiful region where we are surrounded by blue skies, lush vegetation, and tropical breezes. However, with all this natural beauty comes bugs… and lots of them. Why not surround yourself with the beauty of the Lowcountry without having to deal with those pesky bugs and slithering intruders. Consider adding a screen room or screened enclosure to your home so you can enjoy your yard all year long!

This side porch has motorized Executive Screens by Phantom Screens to keep the space bug free when needed. The screens retract out of sight when not in use.

This is a good picture to use for a retractable skylight quiz. Here goes!
Q: What type of skylight is this?
A: It's a center-third-operable barrel. (If you look along the left edge of the skylight, you can see that the middle third sits on top of either end.
Q: Is it motorized? How can you tell?
A: Yes, that box on the end of the middle section is the giveaway - it contains the motor.
Q: Which direction does the center-third retract to?
A: To retract, a section needs tracks to roll on. You can see a track on this side of the center section, but not the far side. So it retracts toward the camera.
Q: How big is this skylight?
A: It's larger than it looks. That box enclosing the motor is about one foot by one-foot. The size of the opening: about 15' by 30'.

This is a motorized roof-access skylight. Because the two adjoining roofs were at different heights, the skylight was designed accordingly. It looks great.

This is a motorized retractable ridge skylight. An even more accurate name is a saddle ridge, since it sits on the roof's ridgeline, like a saddle.

This actually isn't an Eichler, but it has a similar California-modern-look to it, so I'm including the image here, with my other Eichler pictures. It's a beautiful transition space from outdoors to indoors, and has a Rollamatic retractable roof to weatherproof the space, when appropriate. The skylight's glazing is golden opaque, indicating that it's fiberglass insulation board. You can just see a bug-screen barrier below the skylight.

This retractable awning provides shade and sun protection and the drop valance blocks the sun's heat and glare when the sun is lower in the sky on summer evenings. The homeowners can spend more time outside and still enjoy their view, without overheating!
