Residential Home Discerning Window Design: Anchors a Luxe Experience

This residential home, in Mount Eliza, Victoria, leaves a lasting impression thanks to its many luxury inclusions. Designed to offer a sophisticated experience of comfort and lifestyle, the home incorporates an outdoor tennis court and a generous indoor pool area. With such notable features to champion, the brief presented an opportunity for Smartech Door Systems (Smartech) to craft a bespoke window solution that would unite and highlight both spaces.

Smartech’s Folding Windows realised the client’s vision of accomplishing a luxury resort-style infinity pool appearance. Offering functionality and an elegant aesthetic, folding windows were used on the entire face of the pool room, framing the view to the tennis court when closed. The windows easily open at the touch of a button, merging the indoor and outdoor areas effortlessly.

The design customisation for this project had several considerations and constraints. Smartech’s team of experienced engineers were tasked with achieving a seamless sightline, over the top of the water, to overcome the obstacles involved with installing such large windows over a swimming pool.

To create the infinity appearance, folding windows were positioned to end below the pool’s edge, allowing the glazing to meet the water without the interruption of framing. The windows were also reversed, with the robust German motors concealed at the top of the room’s structural columns and panels folded inwards to rest cleanly at roof level, within the pool area when fully open. The windows were installed using internal scaffolding erected inside the swimming pool rather than from the unobstructed exterior grounds. Pulley sheaves were then used to assist with lifting the windows, accomplishing perfect alignment in the tight space.

The folding windows were rigorously constructed to a marine-grade finish due to the humidity and moisture inherent to swimming areas. Stainless steel components ensured longevity and the striking black powder coating of the frame further promoted durability, while matching the building’s Alucobond® façade. The windows are completely sealed and double-glazed to help reflect sunlight and increase thermal comfort within the heated pool environment.

With Smartech you can enjoy folding windows that frame your view perfectly while also providing generous ventilation. These windows enable free flowing spaces for entertaining and the perfect merging of indoor and outdoor areas.

Smartech combines expert project management skills with attention to the finer details, resulting in premium quality folding windows, which are designed and made to last for many many years.
