When it comes to the indoor-outdoor living for which Mid Century Modern architecture is famous, windows are key. If you are renovating your Mid Century Modern windows, here are some things to consider.
To see how these considerations played out in one Palm Springs home, see this video.
Given that windows are so important to the indoor-outdoor feel and design of Mid Century Modern homes, the first question may be how much you’re willing to budget. Do the existing windows need to be repaired or replaced? Given the goal you have in mind, Stephen Whitfield, owner of Architectural Glazing finds he is often advising his clients to wait in order to save more for something they are happy with. For homeowners Alex and Allan, simply replacing the windows made their home feel brighter as well as giving the impression of a larger house.
Another important consideration is working with someone who understands and will help you preserve the Mid Century Modern aesthetic. The windows themselves are just that, windows. You want to work with someone who understands the architectural impact windows have without the windows themselves drawing the attention. They are for looking through without the intrusion of cold or hot air or the added busyness of traditional panes.
