Overview: Located at Tarns of the Moor, Bannockburn, Illinois, the Scottish Manor is the latest concept home by
Orren Pickell Designers & Builders (OPDB). The building embraces two distinct and magnificently detailed living spaces – one elegantly refined and the other evoking an old-world highland castle, complete with stone walls and large-scale fireplaces.
Client`s need: The builders needed to find screen solutions for several sets of doors throughout the house that would provide insect protection while blending with the unique design of the home.
Solution: It was important for OPDB`s design team to specify a screen solution that would be suitable for several
double-French doors throughout the building. The luxurious interior style and finishes dictated the selection of screens that would retract out-of-sight and not stand out on the door frames. Phantom`s screens retract into their housings, and can be custom-matched to any interior and exterior color scheme, thereby providing a screen solution to all doors that needed screening. All installed screens were specified in custom colors to blend into the window clad color in order to avoid distracting from the overall aesthetics and old world theme of the home.
