We're proud to announce the all-wood, out-swing Passive House-certified casement window we designed in collaboration with Westeck Windows has been recognized with Door and Window Market's Green Award for Innovation.

We designed 4 total Passive House-certified windows for Westeck's production, including this one. Our designs covered both fixed and operable windows, for both wood and vinyl construction.

The original Synergist Window Company was the first Passive-House certified window to be designed and built in North America. This casement-style window was the result of a partnership between Rangate and Synergist that we count among the most satisfying successful projects our company has ever taken on.

Since the first window, Synergist has continued its leadership, pioneering wood-clad options to give architects and builders more flexibility, as well as debuting its Landmark mock Double-Hung style.

Based on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, H&H Woodworking crafts doors, cabinetry, and other woodworking projects that capture the easy elegance of the island it works from. The featured doors garnered national attention for their craftsmanship.

Door production has come a long way in terms of the technology we use to build them, but the structure of a traditional wood door has remained fundamentally the same for many years.

While out in the woods putting the final touches on a rustic family cabin, the House of Doors team built a traditional plank-style door by hand, from wood found on site, and were quickly reminded of how easy modern tooling makes our lives, in terms of structure and efficiency. It's good to build projects by hand now again to make us realize how far we've come, and how special our modern tools really are.

Two 8ft high and 26ft long sculptural walls were constructed with typical 2x4 lumber for Canada Winter Games 2015 to be permanently installed in the Civic Center in Prince George, BC. The challenge we faced in construction was to convert a digital rendering into physical structure. Much the same way that a Pin-Art toy transfers the shape impressed into it, we created a template that would press and transfer 2' x 2' sections of the wall's wave-like shape, which would then be assembled one-by-one on site. The two walls celebrate wood as a versatile material, and the impressiveness of a dynamically rendered structure.
