Framing the Landscape with Minimal Sightlines
Working alongside Alec Hoare & Son Ltd, IQ Glass delivered a tailored glazing package combining large-format sliding doors, structural glazing, and precision-engineered aluminium windows.
At the heart of the design is a striking 8.3 meter wide minimal windows® sliding glass elevation, spanning the main living area. This expansive installation features four sliding panels and one fixed pane, creating uninterrupted sightlines across the countryside.
The two-track system allows the panels to stack neatly, opening up the façade and dissolving the boundary between inside and out.
Architectural Glazing for Seamless Living
To maintain visual clarity throughout the home, IQ Invisio® structural glazing was used in key locations. These frameless glass elements utilise concealed thermally broken aluminium frameworks, allowing light to penetrate deep into the building while keeping structural lines discreet.
This approach is particularly effective in smaller apertures and vertical glazing elements, where the absence of visible framing enhances the architectural simplicity.
High-Performance Windows
A series of Sieger® HD aluminium casement windows complete the façade, offering ventilation, fire egress functionality, and cohesive visual detailing.
These windows were specified in a consistent RAL 6008 matt finish with a marine-grade coating, ensuring durability against the exposed rural environment while maintaining a refined aesthetic.
Shaped window arrangements and corner connections were carefully integrated into the building envelope, adding subtle architectural interest without interrupting the clean design language.
