Looking for a property close to town, with character, the homeowner found the perfect property with excellent views over the estuary. It was just a little dated and in need of modernising.
Sat on the back of the property was an old traditional conservatory. The conservatory blocked light from reaching the dining and kitchen areas; whilst multiple sight-lines blocked the view.
Shortly after the homeowner moved in, they employed a family friend to knock down the conservatory and replace it with a single storey glazed extension. Which would create an open plan layout between the kitchen, dining and living areas.
The new contemporary extension is glazed on three sides which now helps to draw light into the house, and helps the view to be enjoyed from multiple rooms.
To the front of the contemporary extension an 8 metre wide, lift and slide, sliding door was chosen. Configured to open from the middle, with two moving panes and 2 fixed panes. Offering minimal sight-lines the view out over the estuary can be enjoyed opened or closed. Above the sliding doors are gable windows, which follow the shape of the roof line. Which creates a completely glazed wall, maximising the light into the house.
The sliding doors have been installed with electric integral blinds, offering privacy when needed. Being integral means they don’t get in the way and they are don’t need cleaning.
On the walls either side of the sliding doors are floor to ceiling windows. With a fully glazed side access door on the kitchen side, for easy access outside.
Aluminium pressings in the same colour as the windows and doors were added to conceal the unsightly steel corner posts and on the beam above the sliding doors completing the look and creating a contemporary finish.
RAL 7016 matt anthracite grey was chosen for the windows and doors with a pre-anodised finish protecting the paint and frames in the harsh marine environment.
