Modern family home with views over rolling Gloucestershire countryside

After previously constructing a smaller home on the same site to the north of Bristol, this time the owners opted for something more modern that made the most of the natural light and created a real connection between inside and out. To achieve this they opted for SVG30 ultra-slim sliding doors installed by Panoramic Windows to deliver a real ‘wow-factor’.

Location: Coalpit Heath, Bristol
Product/s: SUNFLEX UK SVG30 open corner aluminium sliding doors with angled fixed frame glazing above
SUNFLEX UK Distributor: Panoramic Windows

Finished in a Jet Black power-coat finish the frames of the sliding doors provide a striking contrast with crisp white render and stylish timber clad soffits. To make the most of the views out the slender 30mm frames of the SVG30 were matched with a glazed gable above, with the frames of the glazing designed to perfectly match up with the sightlines of the doors below.

In order to maximise the panoramic views over the countryside the SVG30 incorporates a stunning open corner, where the panels slide away from the apex to create a post-free access out on to the patio. The overhang of the pitched roof is supported by external columns which, when combined with the design of the doors, enhances the flow the open-plan living space – creating an ideal setting for relaxing and entertaining.

“Choosing the SUNFLEX UK SVG30 doors were a crucial aspect of the design.  They not only offer a modern aesthetic but also provide functionality that complements the overall layout of the house,” said John Lynch, Managing Director at Panoramic Windows. “The owner wanted to create a space that felt open and connected to the beautiful surroundings, and these doors have made that possible.

“The SVG30’s combination of modern engineering and aesthetic design allow homeowners to enjoy expansive views while maintaining comfort and energy efficiency.  This project is a testament to how thoughtful design and high-quality materials can create spaces that are both beautiful and functional.”
