Many homeowners and contractors feel frustrated when standard window options don’t match their vision for a modern, architecturally unique home or project. Instead of forcing conventional rectangles into spaces that demand creativity, contemporary style windows help the architecture lead the design. By choosing the right configurations, you can transform awkward wall spaces into focal points, increase natural light, and reinforce the visual direction of your build.
With Vector Windows’ extensive custom shape options, you gain a solution built for flexibility and modern design. This article explains what defines contemporary windows in a concise way, how custom shaped windows elevate modern architecture, and how Vector’s capabilities support real-world applications without compromising performance.

What Makes a Window “Contemporary Style”?
Contemporary style windows stand out for their sleek profiles, minimal framing, and emphasis on bringing in light and views without distraction. Their simple geometry and unobtrusive profiles emphasize the home’s architecture rather than competing with it.
Beyond aesthetics, contemporary windows offer practical benefits: they create open, flowing indoor‑outdoor transitions, enhance natural light throughout a home, and provide versatility for a range of architectural styles. With Vector Windows, these designs maintain great performance and durability, without compromising on style. This makes them ideal for both homeowners looking to maximize visual impact and contractors seeking flexible, reliable solutions.
How Can Special Shapes Transform Your Home?
Custom shaped windows open possibilities well beyond rectangles. You might choose an arch over a doorway, a circle in a loft space, a hexagon on a feature wall, or a trapezoid in a modern gable. Vector Windows’ expert designers can create non standard shapes as single units or combine them with standard systems. Available shapes include radius variations, triangles, trapezoids, octagons, pentagons, and other geometric forms designed to align with your architectural geometry. The benefits include:
- Maximizing natural light in unexpected or angled spaces
- Adding visual interest and architectural character to your home
- Allowing seamless integration of window design into the home’s form
For example:
- Arch or radius tops for a soft contrast in modern minimal homes
- Geometric shapes like triangles or hexagons for bold accent walls
- Custom sizes and optional extension jambs/casings for perfect fit and finish
Because Vector fabricates these shapes within the Advantage and Envision series, you can maintain stylistic consistency, frame profiles, and similar performance ratings across the entire window package.
What Are The Design Possibilities with Custom Windows?
When you combine contemporary-style windows with special shapes, the design horizon expands. Consider these uses:
- Create an accent wall with a large custom‑shaped picture window that becomes the room’s focal point
- Use triangular or trapezoid windows in lofts, gables or stairwells to follow the roof‑line and draw light upward
- Pair circular windows with rectangular glazing to break the grid and add interest
- For contractors, specify these windows from the start so that opening sizes and structural support align with the custom design
Vector’s special‑shape series provides virtually any custom size, allowing you to craft layouts that match your architecture rather than forcing your architecture to match standard sizes.
