This modern home needed a low profile window with an exterior finish that would match the metal roofing and require little maintenance. The clear interior finish was a good match with the rest of the trim and flooring in the house, and the large window assembly visually reinforces the roofline and compliments the structural elements of the seasonal porch. The window display provides a dramatic detail within an otherwise restrained design.
