Windows Key To Scenic Delights Extreme climate conditions dictate window selection at picturesque resorts.

At Martis Camp a custom wood door paired with large sidelites and a stunning, curved transom welcomes visitors year-round while bathing the lodge’s lobby in natural light. W hether located in an alpine or desert climate, windows and doors of resort communities must withstand a variety of environmental extremes. Such is the case at Martis Camp, located in the High Sierras along the California and Nevada border, or at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, CA.

Martis Camp homes and facilities enjoy the sunny warmth of southwestern summers along with the snow-covered winters of the mountainous American Cordillera. The buildings must be prepared to withstand a variety of environmental extremes that roll through the area every season.

Nationally recognized as one of the nation’s premiere luxury vacation home communities, with world-class golf and skiing on site, Martis Camp structures must blend the beauty of a five-star resort with the functionality to maintain interior comfort regardless of the extreme weather Mother Nature throws at the neighborhood in any given season. Residents also require a personalized look

and feel for every space, demanding that the doors and windows must be custom designed and fabricated specifically for this project.

To further complicate the project, all materials and products used need to support Martis Camp’s commitment to LEED certification. While some energy-efficiency products are optimized for climates that tend to be hotter or colder, the community needed options that could provide the best of both worlds.

After an extensive review process, the Martis Camp design team decided that gorgeous views of the High Sierras would be best captured through Jeld-Wen Inc., Charlotte, NC, custom clad-wood windows made with AuraLast wood, while guests would enter their own personal wilderness getaway through the company’s IWP custom doors.

As guests arrive at the exclusive mountain oasis, they are met with the grandest of entrances. A custom wood door paired with large sidelites and a stunning, curved transom welcomes visitors year-round while bathing the lodge’s lobby in natural light.

When the warmth of spring and summer sweeps along the border of Truckee, CA, and Lake Tahoe’s north shore, the Martis Camp Lodge and community facilities let the outdoors in. Custom bifold doors sweep open and fold into concealed closets to create a 40-ft.-wide opening between dining and patio spaces.

Throughout the property—from individual guest rooms in private homes to spa facilities and dining locations in public spaces—custom wood windows pair energy efficiency with luxurious design. A blend of window varieties, from traditional casement to custom radius-top designs, creatse an atmosphere that mixes the feel of a traditional wilderness lodge and a jaw-dropping luxury resort.

“Constructing a luxury development in a region with climates that can vary so dramatically every few months is enough of a challenge. For this project, we needed a partner that could help us ensure the comfort of our residents while providing windows and doors that project the luxurious look and feel Martis Camp is known for,” said Larry van Hook with Martis Camp. “Jeld-Wen’s collection of solutions went above and beyond our needs. These windows and doors not only helped us craft the luxury environment our customers desire, they also made it possible to ensure our buildings met LEED guidelines while delivering a level of durability that will stand up to Mother Nature year after year.”

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH Some 400 miles to the south, the climate of Death Valley, CA, is far from forgiving. “The hottest place on Earth,” this desert is baked by temperatures averaging 116 F in July and cooling to a chilly 67 F in the heart of winter. The intense heat is compounded by a

significant lack of rainfall throughout the year. In fact, the region may only see a couple of inches of rain in an entire year.

Buildings at the Inn at Furnace Creek face accelerated wear as exteriors contend with extreme temperatures. The powerful rays from the sun and hot, dry air make it more likely for doors and windows to fade, warp, or crack more quickly than in other climates. In addition, structures must be properly insulated to help keep the heat out and room interiors cool.

Pairing substantial design flexibility with energy-efficiency technology, Jeld-Wen custom clad-wood windows combining AuraLast wood and finishes meeting the AAMA 2605 Standard were chosen as the optimal
