Slim Sliding Doors Opening Living Spaces to the Garden
Large-format slim sliding doors form the primary glazing feature within the extension. Installed across the terrace-facing elevations, the sliding doors create generous openings onto the external entertaining spaces while maintaining ultra-slim sightlines that keep the focus on the surrounding views.
The specification combines multiple two-track sliding door systems with fixed glazed panels to create expansive elevations of glass. A frameless glass-to-glass corner further enhances the sense of openness, wrapping views around the living spaces and allowing natural light to enter from multiple directions.
A further sliding door set on a secondary elevation provides everyday access to the garden, creating a practical and highly flexible connection between internal and external spaces.
Structural Glazing Maximising Natural Light
Alongside the sliding door systems, Invisio® structural glazing was incorporated throughout the extension to create frameless glass elements with minimal visual interruption. Full-height fixed glazing and carefully positioned picture windows frame views of the landscape while contributing to a clean and contemporary architectural language.
Continuous clerestory glazing wraps key areas of the extension, introducing additional daylight from above and creating a bright, balanced internal environment throughout the day. The combination of structural glazing and large-format sliding doors ensures every space benefits from strong visual links to the exterior.
Externally, frameless-effect glass balustrades were installed to terraces overlooking the gardens. Fixed within a recessed base channel, the balustrades provide essential protection while preserving uninterrupted views from both inside and outside the home.
