IN AUSTRALIA , ANOTHER PLACE that allows for indoor-outdoor living nearly year-round, this home's dining and living areas open up completely to the landscape, with sliding walls creating a wide-open connection between spaces. Additionally, wood flooring inside the house and exterior wood decking help to meld the two living spaces together. INDOOR - OUTDOOR LIVING seems natural in places with mild climates, like California and the Mediterranean, but what about regions that experience more extreme weather or have a lot of bugs? In the Baltimore-area home seen in the cover photo, a wall of windows provides year-round connection to the outdoors, with views of the surrounding woodland changing throughout the year. The architect added a screened porch off the home's living room, further bridging the divide between interior and exterior spaces. An expansive three-panel bifold door separates the two spaces and can be left open on a nice day to welcome in fresh air while keeping bugs out.
