manifestingutopia Thank you so much for the info! I've been searching for windows that have dark bronze interior frames, instead of white/cream, and are thermally rated for the PNW. Glad someone makes them!

The Port Hadlock Cabin is a stunning house.

Eggleston Farkas Architects We've used these Milgard windows in many of our project. However, given the increasing requirements in the energy codes, we can't specify them as often as we used to. The Port Hadlock Cabin was built a few years back when less restrictive energy codes were in effect. Depending on the extent of windows relative to the floor area, as well as the size of operable units, you might be able to get the Milgard windows to pencil out. Other options we're using these days are aluminum clad wood windows (with the interior wood painted black), and thermally broken aluminum windows from Fleetwood - which are more expensive, have wider mullions, but better thermal performance.

Eggleston Farkas Architects The interior wall finishes for this project is Minerit HD panels (http://www.americanfibercement.com/minerit-hd) attached with stainless steel fasteners to stained cedar furring strips over conventional wood framing. The exterior siding is the same Minerit HD panels installed as a rainscreen.

I hope this answers your question.
