Hollycroft
Hollycroft is a sophisticated renovation project located in London, which transformed an existing property through a combination of a loft conversion, basement excavation, and comprehensive internal restructuring. A key element of the renovation was the use of minimal windows, which were employed to upgrade the double-height glass window at the rear of the house. This modernised the property’s appearance while enhancing the overall flow of light within the interior.
The newly-renovated Hollycroft is now a contemporary family home, characterised by its extensive use of glazing, which allows an abundance of natural light to flood into the living spaces. The design incorporated black sliding glass doors throughout, offering a sleek and seamless connection between rooms and to the outdoor areas. This use of glazed features not only brightens the interiors but also creates a sense of openness, making the home feel more spacious and inviting.
The addition of the stacked black sliding doors to the rear of the property was the perfect final touch, completing the renovation by seamlessly connecting the interior with the exterior garden. These large, elegant doors enhance the home’s visual appeal and practicality, making the living spaces more versatile and connected to the outdoors.

Hollycroft features an innovative combination of glazing systems, which strategically allow natural light to permeate throughout the home from top to bottom. This thoughtful design ensures that every corner of the interior feels bright and welcoming. During the development of this modern residence, creating an open-plan living space was a top priority. The architects and designers focused on maximizing the flow between rooms, establishing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas.
Given that the property is situated in London, where garden space is both highly valuable and scarce, designing easy access to outdoor areas became a central focus. To achieve this, the design incorporated sleek, black sliding doors that open directly onto the garden. This not only enhances the flow between the interior and exterior spaces but also acts as a quality-of-life feature, allowing residents to make the most of their garden area
Maximising views was also of high importance. The 21mm sightlines of the minimal windows black sliding doors allow for the garden views to be as clear as possible without any bulky sliding systems in the way. The frameless internal glass balustrade also ensures views are not disrupted.
The lower floor is equipped with sleek black sliding doors in a minimalist three-track system. Each sliding door unit measures 2560 mm in height and 4681 mm in width. All panes within the system are designed to slide, offering maximum flexibility and enabling the entire opening to be utilised. These expansive sliding doors serve as the primary access point to the garden, eliminating the need for an internal balustrade on this level due to the direct ground-level access.
A similar sliding door system is installed on the first floor, maintaining the same width of 4681 mm but with an increased height of 2723 mm. This additional height of 163 mm accommodates necessary safety features without compromising the minimalist aesthetic. As the first-floor sliding doors open onto an elevated outdoor space, an internal frameless glass balustrade has been installed to ensure user safety by preventing accidental falls to the lower level.
To facilitate the practical and comfortable use of these sliding doors in conjunction with the glass balustrade, the handle height has been strategically modified. While the typical handle height is positioned at 1100 mm from the finished floor level (FFL), it has been raised by 100 mm to a height of 1200 mm. This adjustment allows for effortless door operation without interference from the balustrade.
