Project Details

Built in 1974, this San Jose, California home showcases elegant features and traditional style. While the original living room windows provided an abundance of light, they lacked the energy efficiency and functionality the homeowner desired. There was an opportunity to make a fresh design statement in the space, while improving practical elements of the windows as well.

Art-Inspired Wood Window Design

When gathering inspiration for his remodel project, this San Jose homeowner looked no further than his favorite painting. The “Music Pier” by artist Edward Gordon, showcases stunning hung windows with an arch top and a traditional grille pattern. The windows welcome stunning amounts of natural light and breathe life into the music produced by the grand piano sitting nearby.

Custom Arch Windows Crafted to Match Homeowner’s Favorite Artwork

Custom-crafted to match those in the painting, Pella Reserve wood double-hung windows made the homeowner’s dream aesthetic come true. Pella’s wood windows offer the most customizable designs, with more features and options than other materials, meaning the homeowner was able to personalize these windows to complement his unique home and style. Featuring an elegant arch top and traditional grilles, these beautiful windows make a grand statement. They feature historic elements that add drama and architectural interest to the home. The authenticity and long-lasting beauty of the wood windows brought the homeowner’s vision to life in a truly timeless and classic way. The homeowner raves, “When I look outside my house, I feel like I could be anywhere. I now have gorgeous arch top windows. It really transformed my space from inside, out.”

Traditional Wood Windows Offer Improved Efficiency and Functionality

The new arch windows transform the space with timeless elegance and comfort. They are more energy efficient and provide more function, with their ability to be raised from the bottom, or lowered from the top for ventilation. The energy-efficient wood windows used in this project also provide additional security and comfort. Not only are these windows absolutely stunning in this home, but they offer better functionality and help reduce energy costs. Loving the natural beauty of these windows?
