Designing a home for aging in place requires more than adding accessibility features. It means creating a space that feels welcoming, adaptable, and comfortable for years to come. For a couple building their forever home on Washington’s Whidbey Island, this meant prioritizing flexibility, a connection to nature, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Seattle-based architecture firm GroupArchitect brought the homeowners’ vision to life through thoughtful design choices and durable, high-performance materials. At the center of it all is a folding patio glass door that opens the home to the outdoors and supports a lifestyle built around ease, enjoyment, and long-term comfort.

What Our Customers Have to Say
Belvedere Kitchen
For this kitchen project the decision was to install a folding window/wall combination to give the homeowners the indoor/outdoor kitchen and entertainment area flexibility they desired.
Mill Valley Remodel
These homeowners tackled an ambitious remodeling project with the goal of opening up and brightening an old 1940 Spanish Mediterranean home. Learn why they decided to make NanaWall the centerpiece of their new home and why that feature is so essential.
“We understand the NanaWall system to be the best of its kind on the market. The wall is extremely easy to operate and performs very well in the Vancouver climate. Also, when the wall is closed, the system has no frames—it looks like seamless glass from the exterior.”
— Jason Fediuk, Homeowner
