Glass enclosures in Excelsior. Glass enclosures in Excelsior.

Excelsior still looks like the lake town it has always been: Water Street storefronts, The Commons on the bay, and blocks of cottage-scale homes where the front porch is part of the architecture. Enclosing a porch here cannot mean bolting on something that looks like an addition. Frameless glass is the quietest possible intervention, no vertical frames, no visual weight, the porch still reads as a porch.

South-shore lots from Excelsior through Tonka Bay and Shorewood get hammered by northwest wind coming across the big water. A glazed porch turns that exposure into the best seat in town for a fall storm rolling over the bay.

We install on the historic blocks, the newer builds along Excelsior Boulevard, and the cabins tucked around Christmas Lake. Same product, templated to very different houses.
