Slim sliding glass door systems were chosen for their slim sightlines and bespoke design options, perfect for creating a truly modern home with step-free access between the internal and outdoor living spaces. A large patio louvre roof was also integrated into the design to provide adjustable weather protection for a large outdoor kitchen and seating space.

 

To the upper floor, vertical sliding sash windows provide a unique feel to the luxury home, creating large, glazed facades for each of the bedrooms. This unique system functions via a concealed pulley system that connects each of the counterbalanced sliding units, allowing the system to smoothly and manually slide upwards.

Designed to occupy the size of one entire wall, the sash windows allow plenty of natural light to flood the rooms and can be opened to provide adjustable ventilation, or to access the walk-on glass balcony running the length of the villa. Bordered by frameless glass balustrades, these minimal elements prove essential protection for the homeowners while ensuring that they do not detract from the stunning views around the house.

To the ground floor, slim sliding glass doors provide a seamless transition between the sprawling open plan living rooms and the outdoor patio space. The base track is flush with the floor to allow step-free access, while the wheels are integrated into the track to ensure easy maintenance and a smoother sliding motion.

 

A large aluminium louvre roof provides the finishing touch to the space. The automatic louvres provide easily adjustable protection from the elements to the extensive outdoor living space below. This patio area boasts a luxurious fire pit and sofa space, outdoor kitchen unit and dining area, facilitating a truly indoor-outdoor living lifestyle throughout the year.
