Project Profile
Description: Complete renovation of back façade and adjoining spaces of a "ho-hum" house, including new master suite, dining area and kitchen.
Scope: Transformation
Type: Remodel
Location: Bethesda, Maryland
Homeowners: A professional couple who made their offer to purchase contingent on Case's determination of remodeling possibilities.

Narrative
Key considerations: The homeowners wanted a lot of glass and a dramatic ceiling. Case fulfilled their wishes with Andersen® windows and doors.

Result: Case uses before and after photos of this home in its sales literature to show prospects that "even with a ho-hum house, there are possibilities."

Highlight: Andersen Flexiframe® windows gave Case the flexibility to execute its design.

Testimonials:
“Andersen products are like a series of tools that allow us to do a lot of different things.”—Mark Richardson, President, Case Design/Remodeling Inc.

“With Andersen Flexiframe windows, we can create any shape to reflect the ceiling line.”—Bill Millholland, senior project designer, Case Design/Remodeling Inc.

Execution: To get the dramatic ceiling the homeowners were looking for, Case chose Flexiframe pentagonal windows above the patio doors to the dining area and the master suite.

“It’s a semi-custom product within a standard product line that gives us the flexibility around which we can organize a design,” Richardson explains. “If we didn’t have that flexibility, we would have had to change the design.”

Solution: Able to produce a custom look using mostly standard products, Case designed the roof slope the homeowners wanted, then ordered the window to fit exactly. Because the patio door and window are both Andersen products, they matched up easily making the carpenters’ jobs easier and ensuring consistent detailing.

Design Solution
The Shape of Things to Come
Andersen Flexiframe windows provide the flexibility in both shape and size that remodelers need. “With Andersen Flexiframe windows, we can create any shape to reflect the ceiling line,” says Bill Millholland. “They also give us a tremendous number of sizing choices.” Andersen can make a Flexiframe window for just about any shape that can be drawn with straight lines and angles.
