Protecting Your View: Layout Strategies for Window Placement
You bought your WNC home for the view. Learn how to plan additions that enhance, not block, your mountain horizon.
Key Takeaways
A poorly planned addition can 'kill' the view that made you fall in love with your home. We use sightline analysis to protect your horizon.
Corner Window Logic
We often plan additions with 'butt-glazed' or minimal-frame corner windows. This creates a panoramic feel that 'erases' the corner of the room.
Ceiling Height and View Angle
The height of your windows matters as much as the width. We calculate the 'dip' of the mountain view to ensure the header doesn't cut off the peak when you're sitting down.
Furniture Layout vs. Viewports
We don't just draw walls; we plan where your sofa or bed will go. This ensures your primary living zones are perfectly aligned with the property's best assets.
