Westerly Coastal Retreat Features Impact Windows

This breathtaking summer home is on a narrow stretch of land in the picturesque Watch Hill neighborhood of Westerly, Rhode Island. With its prime location directly facing the Atlantic Ocean, the residence offers unparalleled views and a truly immersive coastal living experience. Due to its proximity to the water, the lower level of the home has been purposefully designed without any living spaces to ensure the safety and comfort of its occupants.

To withstand the harsh coastal elements, including high winds, heavy rain and corrosive salt spray, the homeowners opted for Pella® Reserve™ — Traditional wood windows with impact-resistant glass. These premium windows provide exceptional protection against the forces of nature and enhance the residence's overall aesthetic appeal. The gray wood frames offer a warm and inviting touch, perfectly complementing the coastal architecture and creating a welcoming atmosphere within the home.

In addition to the Pella® Reserve™ — Traditional wood windows, the project also incorporates custom triple-hung clad windows. Triple hung windows consist of three sashes stacked vertically within a single frame. Each sash can be opened and closed independently, allowing for versatile ventilation options. These innovative window solutions add a distinctive architectural element to the home, allowing for enhanced ventilation and natural light while maintaining the overall design integrity. The aluminum clad exterior ensures long-lasting durability and low maintenance, making them an ideal choice for this coastal haven.

By selecting new, durable wood windows and custom triple-hung clad windows, the homeowners have successfully created a luxurious and resilient summer residence that seamlessly blends with its stunning oceanfront surroundings. This project showcases the perfect marriage of style, functionality and durability, setting a new standard for coastal living.
