Loewen leads in intelligent design and green inspiration.

Windows and doors featured in pre-fab “Glidehouse” project this weekend.

Menlo Park, CA – Loewen windows and doors will be featured as a key element of the Glidehouse being unveiled this weekend at Sunset Magazine’s Celebration Weekend.

The Glidehouse, a prefabricated housing concept by architect Michelle Kaufmann, offers a sleek, modern approach to housing that’s both convenient and environmentally conscious.

Its design incorporates big windows in smaller spaces, with gliding glass doors to offer expansive, unobstructed views.

The Glidehouse design is based on “green” building practices and principles, meaning the products chosen and the efficiency of its design will meet the needs of discerning homeowners.

“Loewen windows and doors are a perfect fit for Kaufmann’s Glidehouse, and we’re proud to be a part of this exciting project,” said Bill Wehrli, owner of Wehrli Windows, an Authorized Loewen Dealer. “The Glidehouse is part of larger trends toward living well and building responsibly.”

He continued: “Loewen products are a perfect fit. We offer more than six trillion possible combinations on our standard products alone, so every homeowner can choose windows that will fit their home perfectly – our they can custom design their own. And our Douglas Fir windows are another smart building decision because of our sustainability practices and the wood’s natural resilience and strength.”

The Glidehouse will be on display May 15 and 16 at Sunset Celebration Weekend in Menlo Park, CA. For more information on Celebration Weekend and the Glidehouse by mkarchitecture, visit www.livemodern.com/glidehouse.
