Riviera Bronze MFG

This home's location in the Pacific Northwest presented the owners with a welcome dilemma: What could they build to make the most of being surrounded on three sides by a thriving, verdant landscape and on the fourth side by fresh water and open skies?

The answer was to create a multilevel home with modernist lines that combines concrete, wood, and glass in a way that integrates organically with the surroundings. Functional divisions across the living space are delineated gently within an open flow, leveraging thermally broken steel windows and doors in place of opaque walls to paint interiors with geometrically divided light and reveal living tapestries of leafy green and liquid blue just beyond the glass.

In an expansive living area near the water, what appears to be yet another striking wall of windows is actually a fully mobile accordion panel system. It can be folded up with ease to eliminate the boundary between inside and out. When that barrier is removed, the reflective properties of our windows take center stage inside as they mirror the water's gentle motion where it meets the contours of the exterior living space.

Projects like this are the basis of our reputation for excellence in fenestration. We're always ready for the next chance to be a dynamic partner in realizing a client's vision for superior design in the built environment.

Classic 19th-century row house design often included outdoor spaces that let nature show its wonders beyond the stone facades. The original windows and doors offering access to back gardens were sometimes tall, but always limited in width.

Today, thermally broken steel windows and doors give you fresh options to rethink the hard delineations between the outside and inside. We built out and installed a custom design for this New York City home, replacing brick with glass in a balanced central window grid with minimal sightlines.

At each end of the central window installation, there is a glass door with elegant hardware, providing guests and hosts an easy flow in and out when entertaining. During an April like this one, with a week of hot summer temps followed by nights dipping back into winter chill, you don't have to give up blooms and light during the extremes.
