Built to Last & Built to Belong

This new build on Trumbo Street in Charleston, South Carolina, needed both high-performance construction and specific historical detail to succeed in its environment. The Forgent Series from Kolbe Windows & Doors made sure these goals were met:

“This may have been the first non-wood window approved by the BAR for new construction,” explains Laura Fisher Altman, AIA, principal of LFA Architecture. “The BAR doesn’t want new houses to look like ‘fake’ old homes, but they do want them to be appropriately designed. Using quality materials and construction along with traditional detailing helped create a house that fits in with the neighborhood without pretending to be a historic house.”
