This project is very memorable for us as it marks a period when we were all working from home. The design work and discussions about this home helped us to realise how much was still possible without the travelling and fuel usage we previously required.
The results of this are a beautiful Cotswold home with RAL7032 Pebble Grey exterior. By adding hinges in the same colour as the frames, the overall appearance is much more subtle than the usual shiny steel hinges.
RAL 9001 is a popular choice for the interior of windows and doors due to its warmer undertones. When combined with the black handles on these double doors, we have a rather clean design all round.
Timber cladding separates the upper and lower screens at the back of the house. A few different options were discussed here but this was definitely the best one. Ultimately, we opted to remove a small balcony section that everyone agreed looked rather unsafe.
The large screen panels were also a topic of debate. In the end, the equally sized panels made a lot of logical sense. In addition, slightly increasing the size of the small windows at each corner makes them more useful compared to the old small openers.
We’ve used compriband weather sealing tape and expanding foam to create an airtight building for energy efficiency. Avoiding the use of any silicone vastly improves the chance of a long lasting installation.
