The Abdilla family are responsible for this fantastic looking property. Simon Abdilla had carried out major renovations to his previous homes, but this was his first self-build project. Undertaking the majority of the work himself, whilst still holding down a full time job.
Based near the estuary in Exeter, the Abdilla’s 0.6-acre plot of land had originally been part of a much larger property. When the property was being sold, the land and the main house was split. The Abdilla family saw the opportunity for their self-build project and bought the land.
The Abdilla family’s brief to their architect was for a 2,750 sq ft low energy house with a triple garage, built to match the local buildings with a modern twist. South-west facing to optimise the view and the light in the property.
The architect came back with plans which were exactly what the family were looking for. Albeit slightly larger at 5,400 sq ft. The property had an Georgian look, 3 floors high, with some amazing glazing, including a stunning 3-storey atrium.
The glazing in the property really gives the outside the wow factor. Featuring two sets of curtain walls, and bi-folding doors. All of the windows and doors were dual colour, a pewter metallic finish to the outside and a pebble grey to the inside
“I had chosen Aspect Windows in Exeter to supply the glazing as they had a good reputation and specialised in aluminium doors, windows and curtain walling. Aspect were brilliant throughout the design and fitting process, working to incredibly tight tolerances especially on the curtain walling.” Simon Abdilla.
Three years later, after many trials and tribulations along the way, which resulted in Simon completing much of the work himself – whilst still working full time, the family were able to move into their new home.
