Winner
AWA best use of
windows & doors
Residential renovation
Evolution Window
Systems
Woollahra, New South Wales
The brief was deceptively simple: “I want windows and
doors that are slim and look like expensive custom made
steel. But I want them in timber!”
Evolution worked with the architect to achieve frame
integrity and strength while encapsulating the well known
slimline look of steel. The custom designed western
red cedar hinged doors features impressive details like
stepped detail in and around the mortice lock and a door
handle that required specific custom shaping of the glass
panels.
Low-E glazing was combined with some double glazed
units to meet BASIX requirements, and all items carry fully
integrated seals for minimal leakage.
The owners were over the moon with the end result. In
their words, “Brilliant!”
