Set within a peaceful rural setting and area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a contemporary rear extension with slim sliding doors in Devon. Tavistock is a project featuring slim sliding doors and required a glazing solution that could dissolve the boundary between interior living spaces and the surrounding landscape.
minimal windows was selected to deliver this architectural objective, providing ultra slim sliding doors in Devon that maximise natural light, enhance views, and create a fluid indoor outdoor experience.
The homeowner’s approach to Tavistock was a clear and ambitious vision. They wanted a home that felt connected to natural surroundings, celebrating light, openness and uninterrupted views; minimal windows was the best fit for this.
The slim sliding doors in Devon, specified in RAL 7016, offer expansive views and effortless operation, with ultra slim sightlines at 21mm. These were chosen to preserve uninterrupted views across the countryside which overlook the border of Tamar valley, while allowing the homeowner to enjoy a bright, contemporary living environment.
When opened, the large two track bi parting doors create a wide, fluid threshold that enhances the indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for family living and entertaining. When closed, the high-performance glazing ensures excellent thermal efficiency without compromising the minimalist aesthetic.
The integration of minimal window sliding doors within the Tavistock Project introduced a unique set of technical, logistical, and coordination challenges. While these systems offer exceptional aesthetics and performance, their specialist nature required careful planning and precise execution. The key challenges included structural requirements and load bearing constraints, precision in installation and weatherproofing.
