DOORS , WINDOWS & FITTINGS
Mixing natural and local materials such as stone , timber and Cornish slate , with traditional pitched roof design juxtaposed with expansive slick and modern elevations of slim profile glass accomplishes a modern yet sympathetic two-storey cliffside home which was key to the clients brief .
The main living room boasts an impressive corner to corner glass with 4m tall solar controlled slim framed sliding doors achieving the slimmest sightlines of 21mm . The clever corner to corner element adds more useable space forging a stronger connection to the natural elements while creating a cocooning environment . The elegant minimal detail extends to the flush thresholds between indoor and outdoor living spaces , flawlessly merging the boundaries between both .
Large floor to ceiling solar controlled slim framed sliding doors were installed across the rear South West and the South East elevation boasting slim sightlines of 21mm .
Casement portrait and landscape windows continue along the side elevations offering more aspects of the coastline . 3m minimal framed sliding glass doors offering seamless transitions to the outside from all sides of the cliffside home .
The design continues to encapsulate panoramic vistas of the Cornish coastline as you step down the rugged cliff side through the newly added modern dedicated gym room which offers views out through minimal windows sliding glass doors allowing its occupants to enjoy the space throughout the seasons .
The result is a stunning open planned cliffside home immersed in its beautiful coastal surroundings , framing dramatic skies and seascapes through floor to ceiling sliding glass and double height structural glass windows that give the ' wow factor '.
Architect , Mark Gregory said " IQ Glass was the obvious choice for the scale and logistical challenges of this cliff edge project . The team went above and beyond the call of expectation to deliver awe-inspiring architectural glazing elements that frame the special panoramic views from every room in the house .
" As you step inside the entrance and see the double height structural window , you ' re reminded of that instant visual impact , and appreciate how everything works in harmony with the coastal vernacular ."
