Corner Origin Bi Fold Door with Shaped Aluminium Windows

When it comes to customers looking at bi fold doors, we aim to provide a number of different configuration options so that our customers can have free will when making their choice of bi fold door. This means that our customers are able to have a large number of panes opening from either side, the centre or having one pane opening like a door and other panes sliding in the opposite direction. One of the more popular configurations we provide are corner bi folds which allow customers to open a corner of their home or extension nothing obstructing their view once open, it is because of this why they are one of the most popular configurations we provide. For this customers project, they wanted to have a set of Origin anthracite Grey bi fold doors and some Origin anthracite grey windows added to an extension they were having built. The size of the corner bi fold measured three metres each side meaning that when the Origin bi folds we open, the customer would be welcomed with a large opening to enjoy. The other main requirement for this build was for the bi folds to have a low running threshold leading from in the extension, into the customers garden. As you can see from the images, our team did exactly what was asked for them, and installed a low threshold Origin corner bi fold door and also some windows into their stunning extension project. Here's how the customers shaped window looks fully installed.

Residential exterior painting is a labor-intensive, detailed, and time-consuming project that demands the rich experience of a professional house painter. Whether you intend to put your house for sale, improve its curb appeal, or host many parties, new exterior paint can allow you to fall in love with your home all over again. Isn’t a DIY painting project more cost-effective? While the initial cost may be cheaper, when you cut corners and overlook imperfections, you may end up spending more than intended to correct the errors. Instead, hiring an exterior house painting team will ensure that your project is ideally, efficiently, and professionally completed. Let's explore the benefits of hiring a professional house painter in Miami, Florida

Built by L. Cramer and Architect Kathy Alexander, Brandi was excited to design this charming new build on Lake Minnetonka. Situated on a narrow lot with unparalleled lake access, this project was all about maximizing every last inch of square footage! There are no formal spaces in this home; every finish was carefully considered and needed to be functional, durable, and family-friendly. The interior reflects the relaxed, calm pace of lake life. Soft lighting, warm tones, and bright natural colors all add to the sense of peace and understated elegance. The heart of the main floor is the cozy, connected great room. Design highlights include the glass and cable rail wine storage, reclaimed wood beams, large windows, a centerpiece kitchen island and range hood, and a hidden prep kitchen for hosting with ease. Brandi enjoyed helping this lovely family make the most of their beautiful home and its gorgeous setting!

This 800 square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit steps down a lush site in the Portland Hills. The street facing balcony features a sculptural bronze and concrete trough spilling water into a deep basin. The split-level entry divides upper-level living and lower level sleeping areas. Generous south facing decks, visually expand the building's area and connect to a canopy of trees. The mid-century modern details and materials of the main house are continued into the addition. Inside a ribbon of white-washed oak flows from the entry foyer to the lower level, wrapping the stairs and walls with its warmth. Upstairs the wood's texture is seen in stark relief to the polished concrete floors and the crisp white walls of the vaulted space. Downstairs the wood, coupled with the muted tones of moss green walls, lend the sleeping area a tranquil feel. Contractor: Ricardo Lovett General Contracting Photographer: David Papazian Photography

Modern House Exterior Ideas and Designs

With so much attention devoted to interior design, the exterior of a home can often get overlooked, but as the first thing that welcomes both us and our guests, it is worth devoting some time tending to the outside of your house. Furthermore, focusing on the modern kerb appeal of your home can add significant value if and when it comes time to sell up. Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian homes, with their bay windows and elegant plasterwork, often benefit from built in architecture advantages, but even if your house design is unassuming from the outside, small decorative and structural improvements to the modern exterior of your home can equal huge impact. Key areas of building design to focus on are the front door, the driveway or approach to your home, the porch area, the windows, the facade and the roof. And just a note of caution... before any significant modern exterior architecture gets under way, check first whether you need planning permission for your exterior house designs– this applies particularly to listed houses or buildings in a conservation area, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Take a look through the house designs, exterior architecture and images of front doors and driveways on Houzz to inspire your facade or building design, or read on for a few more pointers when it comes to redesigning your exterior.

How do I give my home an exterior facelift?

You may feel like your home’s exterior architecture is unalterable but there are a wide range of options available to improve its external building design, no matter what raw materials you begin with. Begin with the front door and the pathway or driveway that lead up to your home as these are easy to improve without huge budgets. A driveway or pathway must be kept neat and tidy and you can consider replacing tarmac with attractive tiles or gravel. Repainting or replacing the fence, wall or gate that fronts your home can also offer an overnight transformation without breaking the bank. An area to not cut corners however is the front door, where spending a little extra can make a huge difference in quality, and painting it in a colour you love will pay you back every time it welcomes you home! Updating your windows can be a significant building design project but it is one that has benefits both inside and out, as well as potentially saving you money on energy later. If you are lucky enough to have period windows such as bay windows with sash or leaded windows, then maintaining them should be a top priority, but if they are beyond repair then there are plenty of window professionals that will offer modern, double or triple glazed equivalents that could still work in your bay window. Working with uPVC? Not a problem – the best improvement you can make is to ensure your windows are the right size and shape for your home's overall proportions.

How do I update my home’s facade?

When it comes to updating the facade of your home, painting is the quickest and most affordable way to achieve a modern makeover, and if you opt for a colour other than white it can really make a statement (although sticking within the palette of your road and local area is advisable). A makeover that requires a bit more patience but can add romance and character to the most mundane of homes is to adorn the walls with climbing plants – delicate trailing wisteria is ever a British favourite, whilst roses and jasmine offer fragrance as well as beauty. If you’re looking to make more significant changes to the exterior of your home, whether that is adding timber cladding, hanging tiles, installing a bay window or rendering, then you should first check whether your house designs require planning permission. A New England style wood boarded home is beautiful and bright, but remember that it will need frequent repainting if it is going to stay looking its best, whilst stucco render or Tyrolean render can tidy up a home's exterior but think carefully before covering over original brickwork.

What should I consider if building a home from scratch?

If you’re working with an architect on a brand new build, the options are endless when it comes to deciding on the exterior architecture. But first things first, you will need to check planning permissions, building regulations and local restrictions, such as being in a conservation area, to make sure your plans for your exterior house designs will meet stipulations. If you are building in a street with predominantly Victorian facades, with bay windows and side returns, you might need to ensure your house designs fit in with the rest of the homes on the street, but if you’re building in a more remote area you’ll probably have more freedom for your building design. There are many architectural decisions to make, do you want a flat, gabled, hipped, mansard or perhaps even a curved roof? Do you want bay windows? Crittall windows? Perhaps external shutters? Do you want glass walls? Do you want wood cladding? Do you want a very symmetrical building design or something more contemporary? The decision is all yours but remember to consider the benefits of various materials over others and the effects that some architecture styles will have on everyday life, for example glass walls will look attractive but will give you less privacy. Your architect or builder will be able to guide you through the best modern exterior architecture choices for your house designs.
