In the heart of Midlothian, Virginia lies this new construction home with historically accurate craftsman style from top to bottom. Pella Reserve wood windows and patio doors were used throughout. A variety of double-hung, casement and half-circle windows line the home in addition to patio doors that overlook the backyard pool area.

Window Grilles Bring Craftsman Character

Against the dark brown siding, these white windows and patio doors stand out. When deciding between types of window grilles, the homeowners opted for something simple and understated. Craftsman style grilles bring design interest with a sophisticated pattern featuring straight grid lines. For many of the windows and doors, grilles occupy only the top portion of the glass. This Top Row pattern is a hallmark of craftsman style, adding character without obstructing all the glass.

Historically Accurate Windows and Doors Deliver Authentic Detailing

In building a home, these homeowners hoped for the freshness of a new space without compromising on the historical style they love. That was one of the primary reasons they chose Pella Reserve windows and patio doors. As the most customizable material, wood has a variety of features and options that help achieve the desired craftsman aesthetic. Through-stile construction, authentic hardware and intricate profiles allow a brand-new home to capture a historically accurate look.

Arch Windows Subtly Contrast Sharp Roofline

Half circle windows in the front and back of this home are true showstoppers. Acting as focal points to the design, the arched windows elevate the aesthetic and bring visual charm. They add graceful curves and beautiful elegance, contrasting the sharp points of the roofline. With a mixture of both rectangle and arch windows across the house, there’s stunning juxtaposition at every turn.
