This 3,500 sq. ft. full-home renovation is a masterclass in modernizing a traditional floor plan to embrace Southern California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Designer Window Supply provided the technical oversight for a high-performance multi-manufacturer package, replacing outdated windows with a curated selection of Marvin, LaCantina, and TruStile units.

Challenges

• The project required updating an existing 3,500 sq. ft. floor plan to optimize light and flow without extensive structural re-engineering.
• We needed to coordinate three different manufacturers — Marvin, LaCantina, and TruStile — to ensure a unified aesthetic across 18 unique openings.
• The owners, a real estate power couple, demanded a “triple crown” of high-end aesthetics, peak thermal performance, and long-term coastal durability.

Solutions

• Our team provided technical direction for integrating a LaCantina folding door system, creating the seamless transition to the outdoors that the client desired.
• We used Marvin’s high-performance window lines to breathe new life into the home’s envelope while maintaining energy efficiency.
• We managed the detailed specifications for TruStile barn doors and a custom wood entry door to ensure interior and exterior elements felt like a single, cohesive design.

Outcome

• The renovation successfully transformed a dated structure into a sophisticated contemporary home with enhanced market value.
• Our technical oversight ensured that the $50,000 investment in premium fenestration delivered both visual elegance and functional reliability.
• The final result offers a perfect blend of style and utility, capturing the essence of La Jolla’s coastal climate and modern lifestyle.
