Hill Road

This exquisite and imaginative and project in Essex was expertly designed and overseen by our friends at Clear Architects.

A short drive from our Romford showroom, Loughton based Clear Architects were challenged with transforming a 1950s bungalow into a stunning, modern three-storey home on the fringes of the Essex Green Belt. They took the opportunity to design a modern home that makes the most of the stunning views of London and the surrounding countryside.

As well as making the most of the views and maximising light within the property some of the other design features include:

• Moving the accommodation to the side elevation, which overlooks both the fields and London, which previously been closed off by the original building orientation.
• Creating an angled main entrance to form space for a grand central staircase, which is housed within a feature render wrap, flooded with natural light thanks to our glazed, aluminium curtain walling.
• The split slate cladding provided a textured feature to the entrance and related to the black slate roof of the property, tying the colour palette together.

The design led approach to this home’s construction meant Express Bi-Folding Doors were the ideal company to manufacture and install the bi-folding doors and windows for Clear Architects as we are one of the few specialist manufacturers who can manufacture an extensive range of bespoke aluminium products to the high standards required for distinctive luxury homes like this one.

We surveyed, manufactured and installed all of the impressive glazing showcased within this project.

The products include aluminium curtain walling, picture windows, tilt and turn windows, sliding doors and bi-folding doors. 

We are happy to work alongside architects, designers, builders or directly with the home owners. In this instance Clear Architects recommended Express Bi-Folding Doors because of our quality products and exceptional service and we then liaised with the end users from their initial visit to our showroom, then throughout the project, and now the works are complete they benefit from our comprehensive guarantees and dedicated aftersales service should any issues arise or they have any questions in the coming years.

We love carrying out architect-led projects just like this one. We are proud that we have the expertise, manufacturing capability, product portfolio, and resources throughout all of our processes to work with architects, and end-users on projects like this all over the UK on a regular basis.
