Contemporary Somerset house

IQ Glass was commissioned to engineer and install structural frameless glass to frame far-reaching views from this contemporary Somerset house.  

Key to the brief was views and natural light throughout the luxury new part of the building and our award-winning high-performance frameless structural glass offered the perfect solution.  

Perched on a hillside with mature trees surrounding the grounds, the contemporary extension covers the same footprint of the original Somerset house.  Expansive elevations of our frameless structural glass and slim sliding glass doors and bi-folding glass doors would frame views to the verdant gardens allowing its occupants to connect to the outdoors.

Spanning a footprint of over 6000 sq ft, this contemporary Somerset house uses our large award-winning Invisio structural glass to the rear elevations where the kitchen, living and entertainment spaces are all situated.

The ground floor to the rear elevation uses our award-winning Invisio frameless structural glass with six panels and a return section of extra high floor to ceiling glass in the new formal dining space along with slim sliding glass windows for natural ventilation.  

Matching the bespoke height of the frameless silicone bonded structural glass panels, tall slim framed bi folding doors open out to the rear patio of the contemporary Somerset house extension. 

Frameless Invisio structural glass was used as a glass facade in the kitchen and breakfast area looking out to the bounty of tall green trees.

More oversized structural glass forms three panels to another seating nook outside the main kitchen towards the central part of this contemporary Somerset house extension where at last, the intimate family space opens out to breathtaking views through oversized slim sliding glass doors.   

Slim sliding glass windows were used to the first floor offering views and ventilation. 

Internal glass doors and casement windows are installed throughout to maximise natural light ingress into this vast property.  

All of the windows and sliding glass door frames to this contemporary Somerset house extension are finished to RAL colour 9007.  

The result is a stunning contemporary extension to this luxury Somerset House combining high-performance materials such as stone, timber, and our award-winning Invisio structural glazing systems. 

The bespoke glazing package elevates the overall design of this exemplary property.
