Project Details

Built in 1974, this San Jose, California home boasted elegant features and traditional style, but its living room windows were due for an upgrade. While providing abundant light, they lacked energy efficiency and modern functionality. The homeowner saw an opportunity to make a fresh design statement while improving the practical aspects of the space.

Inspiration struck from an unexpected source — the homeowner's favorite painting. "Music Pier" by Edward Gordon showcases stunning hung windows with arched tops and traditional grille patterns, welcoming natural light that seems to breathe life into the grand piano depicted in the scene.

Wood Windows Transform Living Room with Custom Design

To transform this artistic vision into reality, we recommended Pella Reserve wood double-hung windows. Custom-crafted to match the painting's aesthetic, these windows offer unparalleled design flexibility. The result features elegant arch tops, traditional grilles and expansive glass areas that make a grand statement while adding drama and architectural interest to the home.

"When I look outside my house, I feel like I could be anywhere," the homeowner enthused. "I now have gorgeous arch top windows. It really transformed my space from inside, out."

Energy Efficient Windows Combine Beauty and Function

Beyond their stunning appearance, the new windows deliver on practicality. They offer enhanced energy efficiency to reduce heating and cooling costs, improved functionality with the ability to open from top or bottom for versatile ventilation and additional security and comfort features.

The authenticity and long-lasting beauty of these wood windows brought the homeowner's artistic inspiration to life in a truly timeless way. Not only are they visually striking, but they also provide better functionality and help reduce energy costs.
