26 Sep Modern Home Styles and Renewal by Andersen® Windows
Your windows are one of the most important parts of your home’s design. They are one of the few building elements that affect the appearance of both your interior and exterior. Additionally, certain architectural styles require certain window types. For instance, a modern-style home will look great with a sliding window, casement window, or picture window.
Renewal by Andersen® of Central Florida explains these concepts below.
Industrial Modern Style
The Industrial modern home features the use of varied materials to add texture. Its typical building elements include corrugated metal, exposed wood, and concrete. Its window design focuses on functional arrangement of factory-like parts. We recommend using any of our sliding, casement, and picture windows because these styles have very narrow frames and a simple design. You can use them to enhance an industrial modern home by arranging the windows in rectangular or irregular groupings.
Miesian Modern Style
The Miesian Modern style was pioneered by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and usually features a strong central framework. The steel structure supporting the roof allows sweeping floor-to-ceiling door and windows. We recommend using our picture windows for this home style because we can manufacture them up to any size. You can also use our contemporary sliding patio doors to create a transparent barrier between your interior and the outdoors.
International Modern Style
The International Modern style is closely associated with the French/Swiss architect Le Corbusier. The driving philosophy behind this home design is that function outweighs style. The International Modern home focuses on creating a precise and machine-like form. Our casement windows, picture windows, and sliding windows will look great in this home style because they are devoid of ornamentation. You can use them to enhance this home style by forming groups of windows into squares or rectangles.
A sliding, picture, or casement window will make a great addition to your home. Our windows feature extensive customization. We can manufacture windows of any size, and our products come with a wide range of finishes, glass designs, and colors. You can also customize the hardware finishes and the grilles. We serve many areas in Florida, including Orlando, Winter Park, and Maitland. Give us a call to learn more about windows and modern style homes. You can also request a free consultation.
