This stately Georgian home in West Newton Hill, Massachusetts was originally built in 1917 for John W. Weeks, a Boston financier who went on to become a U.S. Senator and U.S. Secretary of War. The home’s original architectural details include an elaborate 15-inch deep dentil soffit at the eaves, decorative leaded glass windows, custom marble windowsills, and a beautiful Monson slate roof. Although the owners loved the character of the original home, its formal layout did not suit the family’s lifestyle. The owners charged Meyer & Meyer with complete renovation of the home’s interior, including the design of two sympathetic additions. The first includes an office on the first floor with master bath above. The second and larger addition houses a family room, playroom, mudroom, and a three-car garage off of a new side entry. Front exterior by Sam Gray. All others by Richard Mandelkorn.

When a North Carolina family was looking to build a vacation home by the shore, they wanted it to last for generations to come. They knew building in coastal areas posed certain challenges: hurricane force winds, high humidity, corrosive salt air, driving rain, and more. This waterfront property needed to be able to withstand the harshest coastal conditions, while meeting the needs of the energy-conscious owners.

The perfect combination of beauty and strength, IMPACT products from Integrity allowed the builders to meet all the job requirements. They also created a finished product worthy of award-winning accolades. Integrity IMPACT windows and patio doors offer Impact Zone 3 rated performance for coastal applications. Multi-point locking systems offered additional stability and security.

Their products are strong and yet visually pleasing. The options allow for the ability to customize the look to fit different architectural styles while being consistent in performance,” said Luke Perisich of Blue Sky Building Company. Integrity windows are built tougher, last longer, and protect better.
