Targeting the needs of the 60 million Americans currently living in a multigenerational residence, the ReNEWable Living Home is a smart approach to providing flexible, open floor plans for ever-evolving families. Labeled “Sandwich Generation” households, these homes include young adults and older parents living under the same roof as the primary breadwinners.
Indoor-outdoor spaces in the homes at Sterling Grove are designed for al fresco dining, entertaining, and gaming.

Set on 780 acres, the community is centered around a tree-lined courtyard with four cornerstone parks, streams and ponds, desert gardens, and fragrant citrus groves. The community features 25 home designs ranging from 1,500 to over 4,000 square feet, and all merge landscape and architecture through the use of massive moving glass walls.
“We bring indoor-outdoor living into every model we create, regardless of the size,” Rhea says, “and with that, the key component is the multi-slide door.”
Model homes at Sterling Grove showcase the Series 600 Multi-Slide Door and the Series 3700 Vinyl Multi-Slide Door. Rhea has his favorite things about each product.
Multi-slide doors create open spaces and blur the boundaries between the inside and outdoors at Sterling Grove.
“For the Series 600 Multi-Slide Door, it’s definitely the low threshold option you can get,” he says. “It is such a great way to introduce indoor-outdoor living with a seamless transition.”
“My favorite thing about the Series 3700 Vinyl Multi-Slide Door is two-fold,” Rhea says. “First of all, it’s competitively priced. And then, it offers high energy efficiency.”
Energy efficiency is important to Toll Brothers, and Western Window Systems’ multi-slide doors helped them achieve their energy efficiency goals through the use of low-E, argon-filled glass and thermally broken aluminum.
“All of our homes here at Sterling Grove are Energy Star rated,” Rhea says. “We integrated Western Window Systems into those plans and have come out with some amazing HERS ratings.”
A 90-degree configuration of Series 600 Multi-Slide Doors eliminates a connecting post, creating a seamless transition from the indoors to the outside.
The energy efficiency and ease of operability of Western Window Systems doors makes it an attractive option for homebuyers who want indoor-outdoor living, and a perfect partnership for builders who want solid service.
“Western Window Systems is really a turnkey solution for us. The quality and the service we get from them is absolutely outstanding. The company stands behind their product,” Rhea says. “The service is great, the installation is easy, and people really enjoy the ability to open the doors up and just really enjoy this wonderful Arizona environment.”

The Orlando-area 5,800-square-foot home, developed by Meritage Homes in conjunction with Hanley Wood’s BUILDER magazine and Arizona-based BSB Design, includes seven bedrooms and five bathrooms with flex spaces that can be tailored to the demands of each individual homebuyer. And as these Sandwich Generation households evolve, with family members leaving or re-entering the nest, the ReNEWable Living Home’s floor plan can evolve along with them.
At the heart of the home is Western Window Systems’ new Series 7600 90-Degree Multi-Slide Door, a giant, floor-to-ceiling moving wall of glass that can open up two different rooms to a covered outdoor living space. On one side of the 90-degree system is the dining space, and on the other is the great room. When both sides of the door are slid away from each other in wall pockets, the homeowner experiences a greatly expanded living space with improved interior flow and the boundary between the outdoors and the indoors eliminated.
The height of the doors was actually increased from the more conventional height of eight feet to 9 feet, 6 inches. This only served to create a more dramatic opening for the 18-foot span.
“The Series 7600 Multi-Slide helps create sanctuary by improving the lifestyle of the homeowners through the indoor-outdoor living spaces it helps create,” says Erick Felsch, national accounts manager for Western Window Systems’ Volume Program. “The new 7600 is one of the strongest, most energy-efficient products of its kind on the market today.”
Use of the Series 7600 is only one part of the ReNEWable Living Home’s overall focus on energy efficiency. New technologies involving wall assembly, insulation and roofing have been introduced in the home, as have an energy management product from Schneider Electric, called Wiser Energy, and the Carrier Complete Home Comfort System. Meritage also included energy-smart appliances from Whirlpool, an app-controlled spa shower by Moen, and a Greyter graywater management system.
