Some renovations are about replacement. This one is about rhythm. Eighteen new black-framed windows and a wide sliding patio door give this Woodbridge home a clean graphic profile, inside and out.
Framing the Architecture Up Front
Look closely at the upstairs arches. Each curve now reads as one continuous sweep, the slim black frames tracing the radius and letting the limestone surrounds act like sculpted eyebrows. On the porch, the rectangular front window becomes a calm counterpoint to the curves above, its verticals echoing the lines of the entry columns and garage panels. The result is a front with rhythm: arcs above, straight lines below, all tied together by a single black outline.
Backyard Rewrite with a New Opening
Out back, the team committed to a true transformation by cutting a larger opening for a four-panel slider. The sill sits low for an easy step, and the panels meet in the center with lean stiles that keep the proportions crisp. What had been several smaller pieces of glass is now one generous view that lines up with the patio steps and seating, so the kitchen and garden read as one space.
“We open the new door and the evening just unfolds. It feels like the house finally matches how we live.”
The best review comes from the family shepherd, who has decided the strip of cool stone beside the new door is officially his spot. He naps there, then lifts his head whenever the panels glide open like he is the concierge of the backyard.
Everyday Flow, Better Framed
With the cutout and the new window shapes working together, the home feels composed from every angle. The arches are celebrated rather than busy, the porch window anchors the main level, and the slider turns weeknight dinners into easy evenings outside.
