Design Buy Build Issue 38 2019 | Page 16

Westbury Joinery Supplying quality timber and doors that fit with the style of the property lies in the ability of the designer to balance scale and proportion, but also to realise the client’s vision and what they want to achieve. While it might look like a modernised timber-framed barn, this unique property is actually a new build. First there’s the sense of splendour, as guests to the house are welcomed by the magnificent entrance door with double-height direct glazed screen. Inside, it’s certainly a hallway and staircase that makes a statement, consisting of full length glazing to fully maximise on the amount of sunlight streaming in. The owner wanted to replicate the style of traditional barn conversions typically found across Essex, with their classic black weather boarding and their domineering gable roofs. Able to deliver bespoke, one-of-a-kind designs on a larger scale, the units for the entrance hall were so big that we glazed them on site before installing them. For this project we carefully selected products that had quality and style, so that our client could focus on creating their dream home. The striking new windows are painted in an elegant Granite shade from our Westbury paint collection, perfectly offsetting the black cladding and giving the property a modern aesthetic. 16
