UPCOMING WEBINAR
Produced by Restore Media, LLC, and underwritten by Marvin Windows and Doors, this Webinar provides key insights into replicating window designs in historic buildings. A series of case studies presented by three experts, it covers how to do historical research that uncovers the original window design and fenestration, how to keep energy efficiency in mind when replicating windows, how to design and schedule a major window replication, and how to incorporate principles of adaptive reuse into the entire process.

  • New Old Magic—Window Replication in Historic Buildings: Two Compelling Case Studies November 23, 2010, 2:00 p.m. ET (90 minutes, 1.5 HSW/SD)

Minnehaha Creek Addition
Originally published in "The Small House" magazine in 1931, this house was designed by an architect for a property overlooking the creek. The client was a writer who frequently contributed to the era’s shelter magazines. In his articles he discussed the connection of the house to its site, and the great pleasure of living in a place so connected to nature. The current owners bought the house for these same qualities but needed to expand the 1,100 s.f. house to meet the needs of their growing family. They set out to take best advantage of the bluff-top setting without compromising the charm of the original house. The addition design brings together the elements of a small, New England saltbox with the red board and batten siding of a Swedish Stuga. Learn more.

Quick Residence
The owner was committed to creating a unique home that complemented the rural setting and acknowledged the classical traditions favored by her architect grandfather. This, but with a distinctly contemporary feel. She charged the architect with creating a home that was both restrained and exuberant, both classic and modern – and was delighted with the result. Learn more.

Island House
The clients wanted a new take on local Shingle Style traditions for this seaside vacation retreat. Its neighbors, which date from the 1880's through the 1920's, are light-hearted and picturesque but understated vacation houses. Island House distills the essence of its seaside summer community, updating local traditions to accommodate the requirements of modern living. The round tower and gently flared gambrel roof give the sense of swelling volumes characteristic of the Shingle Style. The strong, continuous eave line helps to root the house to its site. Learn more.

City Market Restoration
Restoration and renovation of the historic Merchants Bank Building into leasable tenant space brought this historic property into the 21st century while maintaining the historic integrity of the structure. This historic property had only a few original wood windows intact; several windows showed signs of severe deterioration, others were covered with plywood. The entry door was completely missing; moisture infiltration had caused considerable damage. New Marvin windows and entry door bring balance and a natural rhythm to the building's façade while helping greatly to improve the indoor thermal comfort and arrest the deterioration of the historic interior.
