Windows & Doors Enhance California Mountain Home’s Natural Beauty

Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gary Snyder had it right: “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.” We think that idea comes alive in every detail of this newly built mountain getaway located in Truckee, California. Masterfully modern in design, it showcases a streamlined profile with wonderfully rustic elements. The end result is a family retreat that nestles seamlessly among the sugar pines, white firs and quaking aspen.

The talented builders of this home envisioned a residence that balances everyday life with the beauty of Truckee. Essential to this plan were expansive windows — walls of glass that flood rooms with natural light and offer panoramic views of the outdoors, season after season. Pella Windows and Doors of Northern California was more than happy to provide the ideal products. Our Reserve – Contemporary line delivered floor-to-ceiling picture and casement windows, plus sliding and multi-slide patio doors, all crafted of naturally durable wood. After installation, walking through this home felt like taking a scenic nature tour — from the inside!

Form follows function in our modern-style wood windows and patio doors. Sleek sightlines provide more space for expansive glass. And these bigger openings never compromise our windows' exceptional energy efficiency. Better yet, it’s easy to fine tune all the details. The builders of the Truckee home decided the windows should feature dark, wood-stained interiors, but include black aluminum cladding on the exteriors to help protect against the elements in the crisp winters and steamy summers. From minimalist hardware designed specifically for our products to a diverse palette of striking finishes, we offer a myriad of ways to make your style statement.
