PROJECT

Opening Up To Experience
Window and door selection parallels hospitality industry trends.

T

he hospitality industry is about experience. Not just one aspect, but
all of it. For example, dining out

isn't exclusively about the cuisine. The experience can be enhanced by the ambiance
and aesthetics of the venue. Window and
door manufacturer Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork, Wausau, WI, has identified a number
of trends that reflect how patrons' desires
for a distinctive tone and memorable experience can be influenced by the judicious
selection and placement of windows and
doors.
Depending on its location, views may be
the number-one consideration for hospitality spaces. Whether a property looks to the
mountains, ocean, or something in between, the goal of windows and doors is often to frame a spectacular view. Kolbe sees
its contemporary VistaLuxe Collection,
which has a good frame-to-daylight ratio,
used often to frame nature's beauty.
Similarly, merging indoor and outdoor
spaces continues to be a main focus in the
hospitality industry. Folding windows and
doors, sliding windows, and numerous expansive-opening doors are options to help
combine indoor and outdoor spaces. This is
especially useful in restaurant applications.
With as much as 52 ft. of viewing area, fold-

Cincinnati's historic Metropole Hotel has been re-outfitted
and re-imagined for the 21st century. 21c Museum Hotel
is a multi-venue contemporary art museum, a boutique
hotel, and home to Metropole restaurant. With the building listed on the National Register, a meticulous design
team worked to restore the character of the once grand
hotel while concurrently creating a space to showcase
the work of today's artists. Kolbe's Sterling double-hung
windows help replicate traditional style, while providing
updated energy efficiency.
