Exterior Envelope

Exterior Envelope

The exterior envelope is the boundary between a home's interior and the weather, formed by roofs, walls, windows, and doors. Openings, edges, joints, and changes of material connect these elements and are central to replacement and repair. Their appearance, drainage, air leakage, and existing condition shape how the exterior assembly relates to the building and performs over time.
