Project Details

In need of more living space, the owners of this 2018 award-winning Cincinnati home opted for a second-story addition. The sprawling addition includes a bathroom, office, living room, dining room and kitchen. During the design process of their contemporary space, the homeowners selected clean-lined, black wood windows to bring their home to life.

Durable Clad-Wood Windows Deliver Long-Lasting Beauty

Homeowners chose modern, windows with a black exterior finish and a painted white interior finish to brighten their home. The durable exterior aluminum cladding is low maintenance and protects the strong wood frames. The sleek, black exterior color delivers a contemporary appearance with its contrast to the gray exterior of the home. To create a minimalist look, the white interior paint color blends seamless with the white walls and creates unobstructed sightlines to the outdoors.

Sleek Bathroom Windows for Natural Light and Privacy

In the bathroom, the large picture windows and sliding patio door pair nicely with the light wood and minimal finishes. Placed high on the wall above the bathtub, the beautiful bathroom windows contribute to the calm, uncluttered feel of this bathroom. Clerestory windows allow in an abundance of natural light while maintaining privacy in the modern bathroom.

Energy-Efficient Floor-to-Ceiling Windows in Home Office

In the home office, the homeowners selected a combination of picture and casement windows to create walls of glass. This dedicated space overlooks the neighborhood and is nestled among the trees. The floor-to-ceiling windows make a grand statement in this contemporary design styled with mid-century furniture.

With two of the four walls of this room comprised of floor-to-ceiling windows, energy efficiency was a key consideration for the homeowners. Choosing energy-efficient glass can help keep your home more comfortable year-round, reflecting heat away from their windows in the summer and back into their home in the winter.

Expansive Sliding Doors Fill Open Concept Kitchen/Living Room with Light

In the open-concept kitchen, dining room and living room, expansive wood kitchen windows and sliding patio doors allow nature to become part of this home’s décor. The large amounts of glass let in an abundance of natural light to make the rooms feel larger and more open.

In the light and airy space, dark cabinetry creates a bold contrast from the white windows, walls and countertops. The sleek sliding patio doors help to expand the living and entertaining space for these homeowners. Opening to a large patio, we can imagine family and friends enjoying the space during the holidays and dinner parties.

With sleek lines and minimalist finishes, the homeowners enjoy an uncluttered space to relax at the end of every day.
