Pella — possibilities that add personality. The design of many of today’s “urban villages” echoes the appeal of yesterday’s

main street — an era when no two houses looked exactly alike. Pella provided the developers of the English Rows project the

breadth of products needed to give each unit in this upscale community a unique charm all its own.

English Rows is a townhome community located in the Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois. The 46-unit development is

designed to attract residents ready to downsize and enjoy resort living at home. Set in a classic English garden, these homes

feature magnificent Victorian architecture and are located adjacent to a retail center full of shops and restaurants — creating

a true urban “Victorian village” for residents. Pella® Architect Series® windows and doors played an important part in English

Rows’ design vision. Pella offered the architect and developer the creative flexibility to draw from an entire product line that

featured the appearance of true divided lights that fit the historical look they wanted, yet also provided the outstanding energy

efficiency and low-maintenance exteriors they desired to offer English Rows residents. Project architect Tom Fend said, “Pella

offered the flexibility of product type needed to give every unit its own personality. I don’t know of any other supplier who

could offer that.”

Pella helps make an environmental award-winning development green. Morgan Park Place is a mixed-use retail and

residential development located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It offers a variety of residential solutions — including lofts,

flats, three-story townhomes and single-story cottages. From the project’s inception, the developer made the decision to use

sustainable design and building practices — an effort so successful that the project was awarded the Tennessee Governor’s

Environmental Stewardship Award. All of the living options include Designer Series® windows with triple-pane glass. Pella’s

between-the-glass window treatments help Morgan Park Place residents breathe easy. Blinds and shades protected between

panes of glass harbor fewer allergens than roomside window treatments.1 Triple-pane glass and between-the-glass blinds and

shades also increase these windows’ energy efficiency, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs and making it easy for

Morgan Park Place residents to be “green.”

the owners of these historical Toronto rental properties.

Location: Toronto, Ontario Owner/Developer: Crestview Group Construction Contractor: Lawrence Construction

The Lawrence Avenue Duplexes were built in 1936 on the outskirts of Toronto. Historical appeal is what draws residents to

the stately brick duplexes. So when it came time to replace the windows, Bert C. Grant — the third generation of Grants to

own and manage the properties — said product quality was most important. “Our family’s pride in ownership shows. We were

concerned with preserving the buildings’ original look and offering residents quality living.” Grant had not used Pella® products

before and was immediately impressed by Pella’s Architect Series® product line. It offered the variety of window types needed

to match the look of the buildings’ original windows, inside and out. Pella’s Integral Light Technology® grilles re-created the

authentic beauty of the buildings’ original, single-pane wood windows with true divided lights and delighted residents with

improved energy efficiency, increased comfort and an unexpected benefit — noise reduction. “The Lawrence Avenue Duplexes

are located on a busy street, and residents can’t believe the difference these new windows make,” said Grant.

• Richly profiled, fine-furniture detailing on sash and frame.

• Pella’s Integral Light Technology grilles create the authentic look of true divided lights, but

with modern energy efficiency, structural integrity and water-resistant performance. Grilles are

permanently bonded to the interior and exterior of insulating glass with nonglare foam spacers

sandwiched between them — replicating the appearance of historical muntins.

• Pella’s historically accurate Architect Series double-hung window features a wide bottom rail,

narrow check rail and authentic spoon hardware.

Pella delivers more light and energy efficiency cost-effectively. In the heart of Portland’s Pearl District lies Burlington

Apartments, a 245,000-square-foot, 10-story apartment building. It mixes street-level retail stores with apartments above.

The design challenge for this mixed-use project demanded a punch window system — with extra-large windows and doors

from several of Pella’s aluminum-clad wood product lines — that provided natural light and views while standing up to the

Northwest’s rainy climate. Pella designed a unique solution: an ingenious rainscreen system that fulfilled the architect’s

design vision of spaces offering abundant natural light and expansive views while addressing concerns about water intrusion.

And that’s not all — Pella’s brilliant installation solution helped builders finish this project two months ahead of schedule.

Three separate historical buildings. One fenestration solution — Pella. Eight blocks from the White House in Washington,

D.C., prominent American architect Graham Gund has combined new construction with the adaptive reuse of three structures

— the former Lansburgh & Brother Department Store, a Kresge five-and-dime, and the Busch Building — to create a synergistic

“new” residential building, The Lansburgh. The wide variety of wall types required the Pella team to develop a variety of

installation solutions. In addition to 385 upscale apartments, The Lansburgh features street-level retail and an underground

theater. Each apartment facing the center courtyard has a Pella® sliding patio door opening onto a balcony. “It’s been a very

effective and workable product for us,” Madsen commented. With the beautiful Pella sliding patio doors and a variety of
