The Perfect Choice for Ambitious Hillside Project
»»
IMAGO LIFT & SLIDE DOOR BY Italian hardware giants, AGB, was chosen for an ambitious hillside house in Italy. Its large glazed area and slimline frame makes it the perfect door to maximise light and provide thermal insulation to meet the requirements of the development.
The project, called Casa S, created by Italian architects, Studio 3XL, sees an original rustic house on a hillside in Italy overlooking the city of Bassano del Grappa, extended with modern natural materials into the hill. The main aim behind the project is to build a home that not only keeps the continuity and essence of its natural surroundings, but allows for breathtaking views of the cityscape below.
Some of the key challenges were to maximise available light to make sure enough natural light could get into each room and create a thermally insulated home. The Imago Lift & Slide Door was the natural choice to achieve these requirements.
Guido Longo of 3XL Architects says,“ Because of its large, glazed area and minimal frame, the Imago Lift & Slide door fills up to 20 percent more floor space with daylight than the other doors we looked at.” www. chooseimago. co. uk, http:// www. studio3xl. it /
