Seattle Craftsman Renewal | Aluminum-Clad Wood Windows

The goal of this Seattle renovation was to improve comfort and daylight while retaining the warmth and familiar proportions of an early Craftsman home. A carefully detailed rear addition opens the kitchen, dining room and upper bedroom toward a mature Pacific Northwest garden.

MERUZY developed a coordinated package of aluminum-clad wood picture windows, tilt-and-turn units and French patio doors. Warm-white exterior frames complement the painted shingles and deep roof eaves, while natural wood interior reveals add texture to the calm, light-filled rooms. Low-E insulated glass improves thermal performance without changing the home's traditional character.

The new openings are deliberately simple and well proportioned. French doors provide a direct garden connection, discreet tilt-and-turn hardware adds practical ventilation, and the large bedroom picture window frames evergreen views like a landscape artwork.
