THE ARCHITECTS HOUSE
THE ARCHITECTS HOUSE
Located in a quaint village in West Yorkshire , the plot for our architect clients project sat in an idyllic location with far reaching views over the Yorkshire landscape .
THE OBJECTIVES DEUREN ' S SOLUTION
Deuren was hired by an architect with plans to design and build his own home . He had very specific ideas in mind for the structural and cosmetic design of the house . He wanted shadow gap door frames to feature throughout the build but was coming up against resistance from builders who were advising him against this labour-intensive work .
A shadow gap door frame gives the impression the door is built into the wall – it has a feature groove between the frame and the wall with no need for architraves . We were able to step in where others had advised against the shadow gap effect .
Door openings were framed and plastered and the door added in . The client specified how he ’ d like some doors with shadow gap frames and some with regular frames so it was important our work was consistent to meet the overarching theme holding the design together . The internal walls were built in rough stone so the frames had to be cut around the rough stonework . The client decided on Gio door sets throughout with a Satin Walnut finish , which looks fantastic in situ thanks to all the detail in the grain .
