Built by Fullwiler Construction, this lake home features a 120″ x 48″ ActivWall Gas Strut Window on the lower level, opening toward the lake and dock. The oversized outswing window creates a dramatic connection to the waterfront, bringing fresh air, expansive views, and a convenient serving bar for indoor-outdoor living.

This modern farmhouse kitchen by Glover Design LLC and Isabella Grace Refined Homes features an ActivWall Gas Strut Window connecting the kitchen to the adjacent screened dining area.

ActivWall’s Horizontal Folding Door is made of thermally broken aluminum with insulated glass for high energy efficiency. It is used to open up an extension of the living room to an adjacent screened porch, both of which were added to the home after the initial construction. The custom five-panel door measures 176″ wide by 100.25″ high and is finished in black powder-coat with a U-Channel sill. The timeless style of this product and multiple finish options allow it to fit in with almost any architectural style.

Outside on the covered back deck, the granite counter extends under the window to create a small nook where they can pull up a stool to enjoy coffee or wine. The owner uses the window as a pass-through when her spouse grills burgers and steaks on the deck. The Gas Strut Window enables them to chat and enjoy time together while monitoring the grill. After they are finished on the patio, the window closes with a gentle push from the outside, or the Johnsons can use the optional ActivWall Pull Hook to close it from the inside.

This modern bohemian kitchen renovation blends warmth, texture, and functionality to create a welcoming space designed for everyday living and entertaining. Natural materials, layered finishes, and carefully curated details—including wood, stone, leather, brass accents, and soft organic textures—bring the homeowner's vision to life. A custom ActivWall Gas Strut Window serves as the focal point of the design, flooding the kitchen with natural light while creating a seamless connection to the outdoor living area. Paired with a fixed glass panel, the window expands views, enhances energy efficiency, and transforms the kitchen into an indoor-outdoor gathering space. The renovation nearly doubled the usable footprint of the kitchen, creating an open, airy environment that embraces the home's mountain-modern influences while maintaining the relaxed, collected feel of modern bohemian design. The result is a bright, functional space where architecture, design, and lifestyle come together beautifully.

Outdoor living areas are a fundamental part of this design and cover the entire backside of the house. A spacious great room provides unobstructed views of the outdoor space containing a wood-burning fireplace and kitchen, accessed by a 16′ pocketing glass door system. The kitchen features double islands and a 60″ wide by 68″ high Gas Strut Window by ActivWall. The window opens up and out on sturdy struts to create a serving bar for the outdoor space. It is convenient for passing food between the kitchen and grill, and the extended countertop can also be used as a serving area.
