Immersive Spaces

As an extension of your home, this immersive box window with glass on four sides, including overhead, is engineered to be much more than a window. It’s a place to catch your breath, look around, and unwind. It’s more than a window; it’s a transformative addition to your home and the rhythms of your daily life. Coming in four different sizes, this window can add up to 20 square feet of usable space to the home. It features a 4° sloped glass top and flush glazing to shed debris and prevent pooling. Built out of steel to hold the weight of multiple people, it features narrow 2 7/8” sight lines that provide expansive, unobstructed views. With an insulated seat cavity, it provides comfort in all temperatures. Skycove is certified, warrantied, and built for rapid installation, unlike anything else on the market.

Built to harness light and air in new ways, this smart skylight is the first to offer built-in, dimmable, and tunable lighting that mimics the ideal color temperature of natural light. It is the largest operating skylight on the market and features maximum ventilation by opening on all four sides for faster and more efficient air circulation. The dimmable LED lights are tunable from 2200k (comparable to light at sunrise/sunset) to 5500k (comparable to the sun at noon). With a hidden perimeter screen to keep bugs out and integrated sensors to close the skylight when it starts to rain, your home is always protected. Its unique, connected features allow the lighting, venting, and shades to be operated by home automation systems, voice assistants, the Marvin home app, or Marvin Awaken remotes.

Since opening in 1912 as a family-owned and -operated cedar and lumber company, Marvin has continued its mission to bring quality, beauty, and simplicity into people’s everyday lives. Marvin's branding has remained consistent since its founding, but during these projects, it became clear that the company needed an updated image. In addition to the development of these products, initial explorations of new branding were done. As a family-owned company, most of the C-Suite at Marvin are family members. My branding explorations were shared one afternoon with Christine Marvin, the CPO, who said, "I just texted these to my cousin. He loves them!” - by which she meant the CEO, Paul Marvin. This kicked off a brand refresh initiative, ultimately completed by VSA Partners.
