Black Window Walls Frame Mountain Views

Free Union, a small rural town in northern Virginia, overlooks the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. Residents in the area look for homes that capitalize on these breathtaking views. Our clients, a local custom home builder, kept these desires in mind when designing this seven-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home. The builders prioritized flexibility, family gatherings and privacy. To complement the home’s floorplan and aesthetics, these clients enlisted the help of our team at Pella of Virginia for windows and patio doors that would tie everything together.

To capture the scenic views and sunlight, the builders were looking for living room windows that would connect the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Our expert team recommended a series of large wood windows with expansive glass panels, maximizing natural light. The window wall serves as a grand mural for the space, offering views of the mountain range and surrounding trees. This window masterpiece connects the homeowners intimately with nature.

The two-wide casement windows, placed above the countertop, help keep the kitchen well-ventilated throughout the changing Virginia seasons. They are easily operated with the turn of a crank, making them accessible even in hard-to-reach places. The casement windows are mulled together in the factory, resulting in a cohesive design that not only enhances architectural beauty but also creates a brighter and more inviting interior. Now, when the new homeowners open their kitchen windows, an abundance of natural light and fresh air flood their space, bringing in crisp breezes year-round.

The builders envisioned a mountain oasis where natural light and stunning views are the focal points. To complement the modern farmhouse aesthetics, we installed black windows paired with white siding, a popular design choice for the home style. They feature clean lines that accentuate the architectural details, adding a touch of sophistication to the home.

The builders and new homeowners are very happy with their windows. The minimal sightlines ensure the views are unobstructed, while the black windows add a visually appealing element to the modern farmhouse home.
