Doors & Windows
BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO HERITAGE HOMES
Andas means ‘ breathe ’ in Swedish . Both Quickslide and Kolorseal were delighted to be chosen to help Andas Homes live up to its name by breathing new life into a heritage renovation for a luxury homes development in Yorkshire .
Quickslide ’ s sliding sash windows were chosen to complete the restoration of the 19th-century Harewood Estate farmhouse in Chapel Wold . Situated in the hamlet of Kearby , the site is steeped in history , with one of the stone barns dating back to the 1800s . So careful consideration was given to ensure the property ’ s traditional Yorkshire stone walls and slate roof would be complemented with perfectly proportioned authentic yet highly efficient sash windows to reflect both the heritage and luxury of the new development .
The process of transforming the period farmhouse into a luxury home uncovered charming heritage features including fireplaces , oak beams and a stone floor basement which were all carefully renovated and restored . A new garden room extension made a modern yet sympathetic addition . This , along with a spacious outside seating area and landscaped garden , emphasises the biophilic focus of Andas Homes , where every design aspect contributes to a focus on improving health and well-being and building a connection with the surrounding nature .
Andas Homes has been working with Quickslide for a number of years for premium , heritage projects such as this . “ Chapel Wold is a luxury , sensitive renovation , which draws out the character of the existing buildings and breathes new life into their timeless traits ,” said designer Holly Simpson .
“ We love the quality and performance of Quickslide ’ s sliding sash windows , in particular the run through sash horns which make the frame so authentic .”
Andas Homes opted for a bespoke colour frame . Quickslide chose colour-coating specialist ’ s Kolorseal , their regular supplier for colour coating . Kolorseal could easily match to their exact preferred shade of Light Grey . The colour option provided the perfect complement to the pinky tones of the Yorkshire stone walls .
“ Together with Kolorseal we can give home builders high quality , stunningly beautiful products in the exact shades their customers are looking for ,” said Quickslide ’ s Managing Director Ben Weber .
“ This luxury development at Chapel Wold is just the latest example of how doors and windows are transforming home design . Glazing elements are now so much more than just building products . They add value and personality to the very fabric of home building and are an integral and crucial consideration in the internal and external design of a home .”
