A full renovation designed by John Irving features internal living areas that open via full height sliding, stacking doors onto the louvred outdoor living area. Both living areas are anchored by shuttered concrete fireplaces at one end.
Architectural detail: The proprietary LOCARNO Channel Frame achieves the look of a steel PFC frame but with all the advantages of aluminium. The 220 LOCARNO Channel frame is fully compatible with the LOCARNO 220 RHS frame and full engineered span tables are available.
