FEATURED PROJECTS
This stunning Zac Monro designed, new build house set in leafy Dulwich incorporated large Sunvista sliding doors throughout the property and working closely with the architect and the team, and even with so much glass, it improved the environmental strategy allowing for better natural daylighting, solar gain and overheating mitigation performance.
This impressive glass box extension in Poole, designed by DMW Architects, sits juxtaposed with the existing period cottage delivering a fabulous open plan kitchen and living space. Opposite Sunvista sliding doors allow transverse airflow, with a centre opening door, set within frameless structural glazing, on the rear elevation looking out onto the expansive, ever-changing views across the rural setting.
THE REEDS
Re-Format architects designed a large contemporary extension to a traditional country house and with several Sunvista systems including a four track system meeting a pocket door return at one end and a two track system at the opposite end which enveloped this magnificent kitchen and when opened up, created a huge open area below the colonnaded structure.
CONTEMPORARY HOUSE
This Mark Ruthven Architects designed, new build, family home incorporated our first ever five track system which created an open area over 8 metres wide. Various Sunvista sliding doors and windows, as well as large areas of structural glazing including a 6000mm long, structural glass roof glazing, were installed throughout this impressive property.
Portal House is a modern, open plan, five bedroom home designed by Edgeley Design. Extensive use of Sunvista sliding doors which enclosed the entire ground floor, with fixed, frameless glass and fully opening corners formed providing many opening options. There were also Sunvista windows installed on the upper floors.
This superb, glazed pavilion connected to this magnificent Georgian country mansion was created by AV Architects. They used 3.3m tall, Sunvista sliding doors with a fully opening corner, finished in a subtle anodised aluminium finish to blend in unobtrusively with the existing building.
This installation is now 10 years old but is still one of our favourites. This was another collaboration with Re-Format architects where Sunvista sliding doors and fixed glazing fully enclosed this spectacular indoor pool with special consideration given to the environment in terms of the type of glass specified. The stunning, structurally glazed roof light is also worth a mention.
