EXTERIOR Folding doors
Sandra Hurtley— Positive Space Staging + Design Inc.
“
Having Eclipse folding doors that completely open an interior space to the outdoors is next level indoor/outdoor living. Here in the Pacific Northwest, having a wall of folding doors that leads to a loggia or covered outdoor space is a wonderful feature. Add an outdoor fireplace and it becomes a cozy area that can be enjoyed year-round.”

Dream treehouse
“
When presented with the opportunity to build a unique one-of-a-kind treehouse, we were thrilled. It wasn’t until we walked the site for the first time and took stock of the challenges that we realized how difficult this would be. The trees were in the middle of a 35-degree slope and right on top of a 100-foot-tall cliff! If that wasn’t difficult enough, building a treehouse requires a multitude of unique building practices. One that stood out was learning how to connect the steel brackets into the tree. Our team had to receive training on how to use a specialized torque gun meant for connecting helicopter blades. This was required to ensure that we used just the right amount of torque for each of the eight connection points. In the end, everything came together, and we were able to fulfill a childhood dream of our clients. Now they have their very own treehouse on top of a waterfall.”
