In Utah’s ubiquitous Mountain Modern architecture, thin sight lines and large panes of glass work together to crown the view as a home’s focus. To maximize a design’s success, quality windows are a must-have.
“A very popular look in both Colorado and Utah markets is to have big walls of windows that harness the views, the indoor-outdoor living styles, as well as lots of natural light,” explains Cole Adrian, the owner and CEO of Pella Windows & Doors of Denver and Northern Colorado. “The ability to have thin profiles allows one to see more glass and get bigger units.”
According to Adrian, those large-scale openings are the easiest way to make the most of picturesque views, and are the epitome of what it means to “more seamlessly blend the interior with the exterior.” Thanks to their extended experience serving the Colorado market, the craftsmen of Pella are well versed in mountainscapes and spectacular views.
Pella Windows & Doors expanded to Utah in 2025 and recently opened a new showroom in Sandy. Adrian describes the space as less of a storefront, and more of a window atelier and design space, where designers and homeowners can imagine exteriors for new and renovated homes alike. For these fresh facades, Adrian describes a shift away from traditional profiles toward cleaner, squared-off frames and black finishes that read as quietly architectural rather than decorative.
“The climate in Utah is conducive to having your windows open a good portion of the year, so there’s not only light, but air,” Adrian explains. “… it is a common trait that I think our customers are trying to achieve.”
When light, air, and careful detailing align, the result is a home that feels like quiet luxury.
