Built in beauty

This architect-designed house replaced existing 1950s buildings that weren’t complementary to the beautiful area in which they were situated. Focussed on a courtyard, the new home is a low-energy and sustainable new build of remarkable design, built to be lived in but still aesthetically stunning.

Key to the home is the use of ultra-slim sliding doors that have the effect of blurring the boundaries between inside and out, but also let light flood in where it’s most needed. Most importantly of all, perhaps, is the view of the stretch of coastline that the house faces across the nearby salt marshes.

Embrace the seasons

By utilising sliding patio doors and slimline aluminium glazing, this is a home that allows the owners to react to the weather and seasons. When it’s sunny, light penetrates the house and the doors can be thrown open to create indoor/outdoor living areas. It creates a vibe of airiness and spaciousness and lends itself to alfresco living.

Should the weather change, the doors used – theEDGE 2.0 ultra-slim sliding door – are rated for severe weather, with excellent water and air tightness as well as impeccable wind resistance. It’s a door that looks wonderful but also delivers superlative performance.
