Room with a View

We’ve all found ourselves staring out the window, our minds wandering as we watch a bird flutter around a tree. It leaves us feeling calm and serene. It turns out, viewing nature through a window has a unique and powerful influence on our mindset.

Research from The University of Michigan’s School of Natural Resources and Environment concludes that views of natural things from windows contributes substantially to feelings of satisfaction and well-being. In fact, even more so than views of the sky, the weather or the built environment.

Every individual and family longs for those feelings of well-being. That is the purpose for our use of large, well-placed windows. Between the view and the natural light, these glazings invite nature to calm us help us see the big picture.
