Lanai Extension in Julington Creek Plantation

Lanai extensions for Julington Creek Plantation homes: more covered living space that looks original to the house.

The classic builder lanai fits two chairs and no table. A lanai extension pushes the covered living space out into the yard, with a roof attached to the house, a matching ceiling and a new floor. AY Luxury Designs designs and builds lanai extensions for homeowners in Julington Creek Plantation, screened or open.

Ways to Extend a Julington Creek Plantation Lanai

Old and new floor paved as one. No seam between the original lanai and the extension.
Make room for a kitchen. A deeper lanai has room for an outdoor kitchen or bar.
Keep the light. Roof style chosen so the inside of the house doesn't go dark.
TV wall. Power and mounting planned for an outdoor TV.

Ceiling fans make a covered lanai more comfortable through a wind-chill effect, and ENERGY STAR notes they cool people, not rooms, so they're best switched off when no one is outside.

Planning a lanai extension in Julington Creek Plantation

In Julington Creek Plantation, a Property Owners Association handles covenant compliance and architectural review, while a separate community development district runs the main recreation facilities. Mature trees and grown-in landscaping are common in Julington Creek Plantation, so we plan placement around roots and canopy. Under mature trees, a solid roof keeps leaves and pollen off the furniture, and footings are placed to work around roots.

A lanai extension that's too low makes the inside of the house dark, so we check window heights before we design. Before we draw a lanai extension in Julington Creek Plantation, we check how deep the extension can go, how much light the family room keeps and where the floor seam would fall.

The CDC recommends screens on windows and doors and repairing any holes to keep mosquitoes outdoors, which is one reason screened lanais are so popular in Florida.
