A contemporary new lake house was constructed within a tranquil lake in Hertfordshire using slim frame sliding glass doors from IQ on the focal elevations. The Boathouse has been constructed in an idyllic location with 360 degree views of greenery surrounding the property.

IQ’s slim framed sliding glass doors were used as the main focal point of the traditionally shaped building to create a full elevation of sliding glass to the ground floor living areas, giving uninterrupted views of the unspoilt surrounding. At the corner these minimal sliding doors were designed to slide away from that meeting and into pockets, opening the internal living areas to the surrounding lake and the decked external patio areas.

When privacy or shading is required bespoke timber shutters can be folded over the entire wall of minimally framed doors, creating a full external façade of burnt timber which is an extremely popular architectural material at the moment.
The slatted nature of the bespoke shutters means that even when the shutters are closed the light still enters the living spaces and views are still captured, but offers the privacy desired.
