Stellar view enhances Pembrokeshire new build property
Stellar flush windows and doors from Epwin Window Systems ( manufactured and installed by GD Windows ) have been installed in a striking contemporary new build project in the scenic Pilot Street area of St . Dogmaels near Cardigan in Pembrokeshire .
The bespoke split-level residential property has been designed to fully capitalise on its prime coastal location . A standout feature was the installation of three large Stellar lift and slide patio doors , each measuring 3.3m x 2.5m , complemented by overhead curtain walling with fixed lights across the upper rear elevation .
A further three Stellar lift and slide doors , each 2.5m x 2.1m , were installed to the ground floor level . Three internal screens with duplex bars were fitted , alongside four flush Stellar windows that provide a clean , minimalist aesthetic . To complement the home ’ s contemporary stye , all Stellar products were manufactured with anthracite grey external frames and a clean white finish on the interior . As is standard with Stellar , the finish used a durable powder coating with a marine-grade finish that meets the Qualicoat specification , helping to ensure longevity and resilience in the challenging coastal environment .
Gwyn Davies , Director at GD Windows , said : “ The architectural vision for this home was to maximise the natural light and make the most of its unique coastal position . Stellar ’ s super-slim profile enabled us to open-up the rear aspect of the property across both levels , allowing light to flood the living spaces and provide uninterrupted views of the estuary . The result is a contemporary , light-filled home that truly connects with its surroundings .”
