This beautiful traditional house, had an extension to open out the back of the house, to include new living areas. The customer wanted to be able to open out each of the new living areas so they were seamless to the outside. The Air 800 bi-fold system was used as it allowed the customer larger panels and super slim slightlines, allowing them great views to their garden.
This beautiful new build, was built to a high specification for a family, who requested open plan living that was filled with light. Barn Glass helped the architects, Counter & King achieve this by installing large sliding doors at the rear of the property. A large rooflight was installed on the first floor hallway to flood the hall with light. And the windows for each room, and beautiful bay windows at the front of the house, added grandeur and character to the property. In the garden a private office was installed, with large sliding doors to create a delightful home office.
The unaltered Front Façade of an Edwardian villa gives little away. This project involved completely rethinking the circulation of the house. The existing staircase which turned its back on the garden was removed then reversed to allow a new central axis from the front door to the rear garden. By shifting the upper staircase from the rear to the front a triple height void was created giving spectacular views into the garden and down into a new copper clad, single storey extension.
This new addition containing the kitchen and informal dining area was in turn bathed in light from the rooflights and stair void above. The rear elevation was almost entirely glazed in the modern style with large sliding doors giving a strong visual relationship with the garden, bringing the outside in.
The owners of this beautiful property wanted to create a Mediterranean retreat in their backgarden. They used sliding doors which are stylish and functional. With their large panes and slick aluminium frames, the sliding doors created the atmosphere of stunning moving glass walls. As well as the sliding doors, the rooflights streamed light into the area, giving the effect of an outside pool. The owners were extremely happy and can pretend they are on holiday everyday.
This two double storey rear extensions to an 1850s and 1930s wing, are visually separated by two linear rooflights that together create a light filled primary axis. And the glazed walkway bridges the double height slot. A modern aesthetic of dark grey aluminium was fused with traditional forms to create a series of intimate cellular spaces that open out into the axis and the modern open plan garden room.
With a growing family, the owners of this Greenford property, employed the architect Liz Biagini to transform their home to give them more living space. Liz added an extension which incorporated an airy open plan kitchen/dining area.
Liz wanted to make the new living area as bright as possible, and add an architectural feature to the building. The Pyramid Rooflight allowed her to achieve the look she and her client were after. And the bi-fold doors also helped to make the new extension feel very airy and bring the outside in.
The rooflights that Barn Glass fitted allowed the area to get supreme sky views and flood the room with light, due to their slim profiles.
