Tofino oceanfront living room with an all-wood Fenstür window wall

Tofino, British Columbia

Tofino Oceanfront Home

An all-wood coastal package combining a tall custom window wall, rake-shaped picture windows, a lift-and-slide opening and a narrow glazed door.

A coordinated wood package for the coast.

This oceanfront home called for a range of openings that worked together: broad views, access to outdoor spaces and ventilation, all with the warmth of exposed wood.

Fenstür supplied all-wood balsam fir products with a clear-coat finish: picture windows, tilt-and-turn windows, lift-and-slide doors and swing doors. The mix of fixed glazing and opening products supported the different spaces throughout the home.

The relationship continued beyond the original project: the customer has since returned to order additional windows and doors.
