Modern extension with bespoke shaped gable end glazing, a frameless rooflight and a sliding glass door

The homeowners wanted to add a contemporary extension to their traditional red brick house, to expand the useable living space. The extension was constructed with zinc cladding, grey brickwork and external timber and the grey zinc cladding created a differentiation between the old and the new parts of the house.

The shaped glass wall is designed with frameless structural glazing to let as much natural light in as possible. The bespoke and unusual shaped glass wall was installed with a frameless glass fin, to support the large glass structure without disturbing the fully glazed design.

Using structural glass gave the flexibility to have a gable end shape within the glass wall on one elevation of the extension. To complete the structural glass in the second part of the wall, frameless windows were used for the most minimal design in the kitchen.

A thermally broken rooflight by Invisio® was used in the dining area to flood the space with light. The rooflight was a frameless flat rooflight, to complete the modern sophisticated look of the extension. On the other side of the wall, sliding glass doors with slim sightlines of just 21mm were installed to let in even more natural light and provide access between indoor and outdoor areas.

Slim frames were chosen to continue the minimalistic and modern look. The sliding door systems are engineered with a completely flush threshold, to travel without any disturbance between indoor and outdoors.

Keith Borthwick, the project manager overseeing this project said “The extension looks beautiful from every angle, and the glasses provides incredible natural light, creating a bigger living space for the homeowners.”

The result was a modern and minimal extension that allows the homeowners to enjoy their manicured garden from within their home.
