A Modern Home Designed for Indoor-Outdoor Living

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Valley of Virginia, this newly constructed modern home was designed with seamless living in mind, and several custom ActivWall products play a starring role in creating a space that flows beautifully from indoors to out.

A Grand Entryway

The front entryway welcomes guests with a bold 72” x 96” ActivWall Pivot Door, designed to swing smoothly inward. The glass panel door is paired with two integrated 19″ sidelites that flood the foyer with natural light. At the same time, the sleek, modern frame sets the tone for the home’s contemporary aesthetic. The fully customizable door is designed with our popular 48″ pull bar handles.

Indoor Comfort Meets Outdoor Fun

At the heart of the home, a five-panel 196” x 96” ActivWall Folding Door connects the open-concept living room to the covered back patio. The doors fold neatly to the side, opening up views of the in-ground pool, backyard, and surrounding landscape. This feature creates the ultimate entertaining space—perfect for relaxing with family or hosting friends. According to the homeowner, “when we have gatherings of people, we like the fact that we have such a big opening, and they’re very easy to open and close.” The far right panel serves as a swing door for daily use when the other panels are closed. 

A Kitchen Built for Entertaining

In the kitchen, a 60” x 48″ ActivWall Gas Strut Window opens upward on commercial-grade struts to connect directly to the outdoor grilling area. Whether serving food and drinks or simply enjoying fresh air while cooking, this pass-through design makes entertaining effortless. The homeowner enjoys the ease of the pass-through, stating, “It’s very convenient and lets me do all the outdoor cooking and not have to keep going in and out of the house.” The window can be pushed closed from the outside when done grilling or shut from the interior with our optional ActivWall Pull Hook.

Bringing the Outdoors In

With its thoughtful design and use of ActivWall products, this home beautifully blurs the line between indoor comfort and outdoor living. From the dramatic front entry to the poolside patio and kitchen connection, every detail invites natural light, fresh air, and a modern lifestyle.
