Recently the dream home of Dena Howry was featured in in the October 2011 issue. This contemporary desert home is full of spectacular views and is a passion project for her after years of moving to many homes across the country. One key element of her dream home, was their selection of a windows and door supplier. As the article states, “Perhaps the most important part of the new design is how it celebrates the outdoors, welcoming it into almost every room of the house with walls of windows. ‘If you walk up to the house at dusk, you can see the sunset all the way through the front door and back windows,’ Howry remarks. Those windows telescope open to a backyard that offers amenities for all seasons, including a diving pool for hot summer months, a fire pit for cool fall evenings, and a seating area with a TV for sipping coffee on mid spring mornings.” Western Window Systems is always a perfect choice for homeowners that want the best indoor/outdoor living and creating glass walls to capture spectacular views.

As Window & Door Magazine prepared for its annual forecast issue, they sought out successful industry executives to share their thoughts and projections for the coming year. They used information gathered from these interviews to create their “Embracing the Reality of 2012” feature article (READ MORE HERE) for their January 2012 issue. The magazine requested the chance to interview Western president Jason Funk, and they were pleasantly surprised to hear about the optimistic outlook and aggressive growth plan he has for Western in spite of a down economy. Jason said, “While we don’t anticipate a significant increase in home starts this year, we are still forecasting major growth for our company in 2012. Differentiation, marketing, quality, new markets, etc. – all of these factors play into the equation for our continued success.” To read the full interview please CLICK HERE.

This contemporary home is a stark white box created by Western architectural partner Russell Buchanan. The home has caused quite a stir in the greater Dallas area because of its stark differences from the other homes in the neighborhood. In lieu of 10 year old castles and million-dollar bungalows, Buchanan’s design includes steel frames, metal siding, plexiglass half walls, and of course….Western windows and doors. While some neighbors are calling this home a “monstronsity”, we celebrate the courage of the homeowner and the architect on their unique styling. As a company, Western has always tried to think differently and live outside of the box. We love partners like Russell that do the same.
