Unique new build home in Devon featuring a Slim Sliding Doors

minimal windows sliding glass doors were used to create a home that had a strong connection to nature and acted as a sanctuary. One of the homeowners has a degenerative eye condition that prevents them from seeing well in artificial light, so it was imperative to introduce as much natural light into the property as possible.

Designed using a range of natural materials such as stone cladding, zinc and lime render. Use of these material enables the building to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding nature, causing minimal disruption to the landscape.

Strong elements of biophilic design have been incorporated into both the exterior and interior design. Internally there is a theme of wood running throughout the home.

Use of natural materials both inside and outside, a vast amount of natural light within the home and large glazing elevations that provide uninterrupted views of the outdoors, all contribute toward forging a strong connection between the home and the outdoors.

Casement windows, structural glazing and roof glazing from IQ Glass were used alongside the minimal windows systems to create a full glazing package for this stunningly unique new build.

To avoid glare from the bright summer sun, overhanging eaves were used externally to block majority of the sun, only allowing in the morning and evening glows.

High specification glass was used around this home, with glazing options used such as low ironsolar control and low maintenance. Low iron glass provides ultra-clear views of the striking grounds, and low maintenance coating reduces the need for regular cleaning significantly.

The solar control prevents the sun from overheating the internal living spaces and also prevents heat from escaping through the glass. This helps to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors all year round.
