Modern is an ambiguous term that actually encompasses a variety of window styles. Modern windows are actually a subset of the contemporary window style, but since many people are unfamiliar with all contemporary window styles, we’ll cover the major categories of contemporary windows.
As we mentioned earlier, modern style windows are actually a subset of contemporary styling. At Quality Window & Door, we have worked on a number of modern style window projects in the greater Washington, DC metro area.
This project, supplied by Quality Window & Door, uses a modern window style. This project features many features of modern styling, including a minimalist design that eliminates all non-functional decoration that is common on windows mimicking traditional architecture. These windows feature large panes of glass without window grilles or simulated divided lites–offering maximum visibility. In the upper portion of the room, angular shapes are present–another common feature in modern window design.
Art Deco style features simple geometrical shapes, clean lines, and a streamlined appearance. Homes built with Art Deco styling generally feature rounded corners, smooth walls, and low horizontal shapes. Windows and doors installed in Art Deco homes are often flush with wall surfaces and do not incorporate window sills into the design.
Prairie style first became popular in the early 20th century because of Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright, an architect known for creating designs that were in harmony with humanity and nature, first designed what are now known as prairie houses between 1900 and 1901. Prairie design features spacious, open interiors with large windows designed to connect the interior of the home with its natural surroundings.
This home, a Quality Window & Door project in Eastern Maryland, features large windows with expansive views of the Chesapeake Bay area surrounding the home.
