These Five Homes Get a Fresh Outlook With Custom Windows and Doors

After years of searching for their coastal New England dream home, Alex and Nicole Bender stumbled across a 1970s diamond in the rough from which they knew they could create an up-to-date dwelling for their family of five. They envisioned a contemporary space with a calming ambiance and a strong connection with their lush natural surroundings. The resulting renovation, with warm, white oak wide-plank flooring, easily flows from indoor to outdoor spaces. To create the overall airy atmosphere for entertaining and enjoying all of New England’s vivid seasons (including the harsh Northeast winters), they turned to the VistaLuxe Collection by Kolbe Windows & Doors. The bright family room offers unobstructed water views through a large sliding door and casement windows, while clerestory windows illuminate the beamed ceiling.
