Slim Framed Sliding Doors Create a Bright Living Space
A key feature of the extension is a large expanse of slim framed sliding glass doors overlooking the garden. These minimal sliding doors create an entire wall of glass, maximising natural daylight and strengthening the connection between the interior and outdoor spaces.
The Sieger® slim sliding door system was specified for its exceptionally slim sightlines, starting from just 20mm. Bespoke pressing details further enhanced the minimalist aesthetic, ensuring uninterrupted views across the garden while allowing daylight to penetrate deep into the home.
Within the dining area, the oversized glazing creates a bright and welcoming atmosphere, transforming the space into a natural focal point for family life and entertaining.
Roof Glazing Maximises Natural Light
To introduce as much daylight as possible without impacting the building's external appearance, several roof glazing systems were incorporated into the design.
Slim strip rooflights were positioned above key living areas, including the dining space, to draw natural light into the centre of the home. These linear rooflights work in harmony with the large sliding glass doors, allowing daylight to move freely throughout the open-plan interior.
The combination of vertical and overhead glazing creates a brighter, more spacious environment while reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Frameless Up and Over Rooflight
At the rear elevation, a striking up and over rooflight provides a dramatic architectural feature while flooding the extension with daylight.
The frameless structure was created using structural glass panels bonded together with structural silicone, leaving only minimal silicone joints visible between the panes. This highly engineered glazing solution creates the illusion of greater ceiling height and expands the sense of space within the extension.
The result is a bright, airy room with uninterrupted views of both the garden and the sky above.
