P C HENDERSON’S HUSKY SLIDING DOOR HARDWARE Bloot Architecture, a concept-driven architectural practice located in the Netherlands, has recently specified P C Henderson’s popular Husky 100 sliding door system for the renovation of a luxury villa in Velp. Image credit: Ossip van Duivnbode After falling in love with the beautiful and picturesque surroundings of the National Park Veluwezoom in Holland, the architecture firm’s client purchased a dilapidated 1950’s villa in order to live in their dream location. What ensued was a sustainable refurbishment and extension project – key features included the creation of a large open plan living area, full of natural light, with the inclusion of a flexible office space built on via an extension. The client also required an entresol space on the upper floor which could be opened up or closed off to be used as a guest room when necessary. The architectural practice’s solution was to install large sliding partition doors in both areas which, when combined with large windows and passageways, would allow natural light to penetrate through the building freely. www.pchenderson.com PORTHOLES LOUVRES POWER TRANSFER UNITS LOCKS AND CYLINDERS SUNSQUARE OPENS UP SKYLIGHT OFFERING WITH NEW ELECTRONIC SLIDING DESIGN Architects looking for an alternative to traditional hinged opening skylights can now benefit from roof-top access and effective ventilation in seconds, following the launch of a brand new sliding skylight design from industry pioneer, Sunsquare.
