Cedar House, Retford

What we delivered

Panoramic windows are a main feature of this new build design. An entire elevation is comprised of fixed picture windows with glazed screens sitting at the back of the living area & two huge, shaped windows that create an impressive floor to ceiling façade with the master bedroom. Externally the glazed elevation has been expertly cloaked in insulated aluminium pressings & fascia’s to create a cohesive look across the four separate window frames.

Two shaped windows have been used on the opposite elevation of the home, two additional features that provide the maximum amount of glazing with the angled windows matching the pitch of the roof. Internally the high vaulted ceilings look stunning with the large-shaped windows creating a dramatic picturesque setting that has been achieved in the upper floor bedroom & the snug area, both of which are bathed in natural light also.

The new home is set in fantastic gardens with wonderful views so a clear connection to the garden was fundamental to its design. Shaped feature windows are prominent throughout as is floor to ceiling glazing across both floors. Bi-folding & French doors on the ground floor allow the flexibility to create a seamless transition out into the garden & the upper floor shaped windows ensure that the house to garden connection remains a great feature of this property in the upper floor bedrooms also.

Upon the completion of our installation the homeowners declared that the windows look amazing & we could not agree more. This unique property has been expertly designed to include dramatic features & contemporary finishing details, yet it sits sympathetically within the woodland & thanks to the cedar cladding blends into its surroundings. It is a wonderful new build home that contains all the features that are so desirable in todays housing market, open plan internal spaces, natural light throughout the property, flexible zonal areas with an instant connection to the outside space, beautiful views throughout and we like to think our bespoke aluminium products played a key role in turning this project into the stunning new home that it is today.
