Multiple glazed systems were used as part of the ambitious renovation project , including minimally framed sliding doors , an oversized pivot door and multiple configurations of our internal steel framed doors .
To the rear of the home , three-track minimal sliding glass doors were installed to the ground and first floors to create a large glass façade with a near frameless effect . This allowed for seamless access between the lower level and the outdoor seating area , perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining during the warmer months .
The sliding doors on the upper level meant that the bedrooms benefitted from plentiful and adjustable ventilation when the doors were slid back . An internal frameless glass balustrade was integrated with the sliding system , creating a minimal Juliette balcony to ensure the safety of the house owners even while the doors are fully open .
The modern kitchen design follows a subtle , industrial-style aesthetic , with metallic countertops and dark timber flooring . In line with this theme , internal steel doors were installed across the length of the room , opening out onto a dining space . To the rear wall , an impressive double-height pivot door provides easy access to the garden .
The slim steel frames and art deco applied glazing bars of the internal partitions provide an artisan , carefully crafted feel to the flow of the kitchen dining spaces . The dark tones are beautifully lit with natural light , that flows uninterrupted from a structural glass wall facing out onto the garden .
Moving on through the rest of the house , two frameless fire doors link to contemporary living areas with a crisper white palette , provide elegantly subtle fire protection while maintaining a clean frameless aesthetic and maximising the flow of natural light throughout each room .
