Designed Around the View: Weather Shield's VUE Collection
Expansive glass. Dramatic architectural lines. Seamless indoor-outdoor living. Learn how Weather Shield's VUE Collection transforms the way modern homes connect with their surroundings.
When the view is part of the architecture, every design detail matters. From expansive glass walls to dramatic corner windows and oversized multi-slide doors, today's modern homes are finding new ways to bring the outdoors in.
An example is Mango Way, a spectacular 17,000-square-foot modern residence in Los Angeles, California. Showcasing the possibilities of Weather Shield's VUE Collection, this architectural masterpiece features 18 multi-slide doors, dramatic fused corner windows, and breathtaking views of both the Los Angeles skyline and the Pacific Ocean.
While the setting is distinctly California, the design inspiration extends well beyond the coast. For Colorado architects, builders, and homeowners, the same approach to capturing a view can be just as impactful when designing a mountain retreat, a contemporary Front Range residence, or a home overlooking Colorado’s dramatic landscape.
Mango Way: Architecture That Embraces the View
At Mango Way, the architecture is designed to make the surrounding scenery part of the living experience.
The extensive use of Weather Shield VUE windows and doors creates an impressive connection between the home's interior and exterior spaces. With 18 multi-slide doors, expansive openings allow indoor living areas to transition effortlessly into outdoor entertaining spaces.
The dramatic fused corner windows take the design even further, creating expansive glass configurations that frame the surrounding views while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
Rather than treating windows and doors as simply functional elements, Mango Way demonstrates how they can become defining architectural features.
The Weather Shield VUE Collection: More Glass, Less Frame
The VUE Collection is designed for architects and builders who want to make the most of natural light, expansive views, and modern architectural design.
Its sleek all-aluminum construction and ultra-narrow profiles maximize visible glass while delivering the clean lines that define contemporary residential architecture.
Some of the standout features include:
- Multi-Slide Doors - Designed to create expansive openings, VUE multi-slide doors help connect indoor and outdoor living areas. Whether opening onto a pool terrace in California or a covered patio overlooking the Colorado mountains, they create a natural flow between spaces.
- Fused Corner Windows - For homeowners who want to maximize panoramic views, corner window configurations create striking architectural moments. By bringing glass together at the corner, these designs help minimize visual interruptions and make the surrounding landscape the focal point.
- Casement and Awning Windows- With streamlined profiles and concealed hinges, VUE casement and awning windows offer a refined appearance while providing natural ventilation. Their minimalist design makes them particularly well suited to modern homes with expansive glazing.
- Customizable Finishes and Details - The collection offers multiple glazing bead profiles, anodized and AAMA 2605-rated paint finishes, and two-tone options. This flexibility allows architects and designers to coordinate window and door finishes with the home's exterior materials and interior design.
From the Pacific Ocean to the Colorado Rockies: Designing Around the View
While Mango Way captures the beauty of the Los Angeles skyline and Pacific coastline, the architectural concept translates beautifully to Colorado.
Here, the views may be the Rocky Mountains, alpine forests, rolling foothills, or expansive Front Range landscapes. Regardless of the setting, thoughtfully specified windows and doors can change how a home interacts with its surroundings.
Imagine a contemporary mountain home with expansive glass overlooking the Rockies, a dramatic corner window framing a distant peak, or multi-slide doors opening onto an outdoor living space with uninterrupted views.
These are the kinds of architectural opportunities the Weather Shield VUE Collection can help bring to life. Of course, Colorado's climate and elevation also make product selection and performance important considerations. Thermal properties, glazing specifications, exposure, and project-specific requirements should all be evaluated during the design and specification process.
The result is a home that not only celebrates its surroundings but is thoughtfully designed for the environment in which it is built.
