Hurricane-ready Home | Treasure Island, Florida
#PatioDoor #Trends See more at https://www.windowanddoor.com/article/patio-doors
Door Product: Ply Gem MIRA Impact Bi-Parting Sliding Patio Door, French Hinged Patio Door, French Sliding Patio Door, Casement Windows, Double Hung Windows and Stationary Windows
The Project: The homeowner relocated to Florida during the COVID-19 pandemic and bought a waterfront home in need of renovation. During Hurricane Eta, the existing rotted windows and patio door failed and a half-inch of water filled the lower level. In search of a style that would match their Spanish-Mediterranean home aesthetic, the owner replaced the patio doors with black-exterior, black-interior impact bi-parting sliding patio doors in the main bedroom and main floor, and with impact French sliding and hinged patio doors on the pool deck, all of which are designed for the 150 mph zone.

Vern Yip Home Renovation | Rosemary Beach, Florida
#PatioDoor #Trends See more at https://www.windowanddoor.com/article/patio-doors
Door Product: Marvin Signature Ultimate Multi-Slide Doors and Marvin Signature Ultimate Sliding French Doors
The Project: The homeowner renovated a former 3,500-square-foot rental home facing the Gulf of Mexico so it would suit the needs for his family of four and offer beach views. The community required products that would meet and exceed structural and performance requirements, as well as design flexibility that could match surrounding architecture. The home’s proximity to the Gulf of Mexico also meant the windows and doors had to be impact rated for hurricane zones.
The multi-slide and French doors were impact rated and succeeded in opening the space to the outdoors and inviting sunlight in. White interior finishes blend with bright white walls and complement a muted color palette.

Green Home | Indianapolis
#PatioDoor #Trends See more at https://www.windowanddoor.com/article/patio-doors
Project Team: Architect, Clete Kunce, principal owner and founder, One 10 Studio Architects
Door Product: Weather Shield Contemporary Collection multi-slide patio doors
The Project : The homeowners partnered with One 10 Studio Architects to build their new home on a wooded lot in a traditional Indianapolis neighborhood with gabled-shingled houses. The three-year collaboration resulted in a three-story, 5,600-square-foot, communal living environment with design elements such as natural wood colors, gray tones and white stucco siding. The architect credits the windows with pulling it all together and creating a seamless living transition to the courtyard.
Among the product features that drew the architect and homeowner toward the windows and doors were thin, minimalistic frames and thermal and UV protection.

Family Living Space | Brooklyn, New York
#PatioDoor #Trends See more at https://www.windowanddoor.com/article/patio-doors
Project Team: Architect, Bo Lee Architects; builder, DiMattia Design & Construction
Door Product: NanaWall WA67 Kitchen Transition
The Project: This remodel project helped create a transition to the 200-square-foot outdoor living area and expand the floor space, which helped create additional space for homeschooling, open-air playdates, a dining area and outdoor movie night space, which the homeowners especially valued during the pandemic. Stylistically, the wood frames and oil-rubbed brass hardware blended well with the more traditional aspects of the home.
The homeowners originally envisioned wall-to-wall glass in the wall, which would have required switching to a smaller, galley-style kitchen. A configuration combining a pass-through window with a trio of folding doors created for the open space the homeowners envisioned while allowing them to keep the larger kitchen. The homeowner reports the outdoor living room is what visitors most love about the house when visiting.

The Scandi Barn | Bellport, New York
#PatioDoor #Trends See more at https://www.windowanddoor.com/article/patio-doors
Door Product: Andersen Windows & Doors E-series doors and an inswing patio door with a 2x3 grille pattern with black contemporary hardware
The Project: The homeowner renovated his 1952 Cape Cod cottage style home the space with an elevated coastal theme, including putting a 900-square-foot addition to the structure, which he called the “Scandi Barn” for its Scandinavian modern farmhouse styling. The five E-series doors line the hall to the backyard pool area and deck. The inswing patio doors in the bedroom open directly to the pool space and are designed to resemble steel doors. The trim-less surround for the windows and doors are intended to further the modern and seamless look of the rooms.
