Creating New Openings

A modest, yet exquisitely laid-out and continually improved upon home up on the Burlingame area hillside.

Time for a well thought-out touch of architectural personality right across the prominent face of the home.

More cosmetic, or architectural than utilitarian, our client wants to replace the existing window assembly…

…with a new Marvin wood-clad sliding patio door assembly with matching, flanking Marvin wood-clad Double-Hung windows.

Everything being thought out and carefully ordered with the help of Portland Millwork’s Brian Dana, we were able to stay within the specifications needed for our newly created rough-openings without incident.

An important part of the project included our installation of structural blocking being installed into the walls and behind the siding that was to be used for the…

…necessary anchorage of the new wrought-iron Juliet Balcony that we were installing.

Due to the expertise & skill of David Schlicker Art Glass, we were able to install art-glass inserts into the top-sash of the flanking double-hungs that replicated the same design as some glass in the original overhead garage door directly below. Go to www.davidschlicker.com

Unfortunately for our “After-Shot” photos, the original cloth awning structure somewhat hampers the light that might otherwise shine through to highlight this classy architectural detail. As well as somewhat hiding it from view on the exterior (see next photo).

Nonetheless, this was a classy improvement that proportionately reflects the classy client who patiently worked with us as we researched the various options with her as she figured out what her preferences would be.
