Are the windows and trim alluminium clad or wooden? »

FGY Architects The windows are wood windows by Marvin. Catharine Garber won special recognition by Marvin Windows & Doors for this project. You can view that here: http://pros.marvin.com/window-door-ideas/mymarvin-project/architects-challenge/2010-winners/ We often work with Marvin as they offer a great product.
