The Courtyard

This luxurious self-build home has been built and finished to the highest standard. A perfect combination of light-filled open plan spaces, alongside small, cosy, and even quirky areas to create the perfect family home.

Boasting a huge courtyard entrance, the house is made up of two separate buildings bridged by fixed picture windows and large XP Glide sliding doors. A combination of casement windows and large panoramic screens of curtain walling have created huge shaped windows which, sitting alongside the external render and contemporary stone cladding, have created a stunning exterior to this luxury home.

The rear elevation has been completed in the same style with shaped curtain walling expertly installed into the roof gables, including a large, distinctive shaped gable in the master bedroom. Again the contemporary stone cladding has been used to great effect, this time on the flat roof extension that floods the interior with light thanks to our Sky Line roof lantern – our most premium skylight. This is very much in keeping with the rest of the property’s fine attention to detail and aesthetic.

The open-plan living and dining areas are separated only by a feature fireplace and as such, large sliding doors were chosen to ensure the continuous flow between the two social areas within the home. The XP Glide S lift-and-slide doors were perfect for this project – their bold, striking appearance complements the home perfectly whilst the large sliding door leafs can be effortlessly slid to one side, or locked in any open position.Whether to allow a little air flow to fully open to create an unobscured flow to the garden outside, the mechanism allows complete flexibilty.

Every room in this house is filled with premium architectural features and every room benefits from natural light thanks to the large expanses of glazing solely manufactured and installed by Express Bi-folding Doors.

This beautiful home contains multiple products that we manufacture and install on a daily basis. It is the flexibility of our product portfolio and our short lead times that allow homeowners to design their dream home and still have the luxury of dealing with just one company who will handle the job from initial sales contact right through to the finished project, and always completed to the highest standards.
