Lonewood House, Baildon

What we Delivered

The basement gym area naturally lent itself to bi-folding doors. The tall doors with wide panels create an impressive glass façade to screen off the gym area. The master door allows for simple access in and out of the gym, whilst the design of the outside space ensures the gym benefits from privacy from the neighbours and shelter from the elements, which allows the gym area to be completely opened in the warmer months. The external patio boasts a hot tub and ample space to bring the workout outside into the fresh air, a little bit of dream California living right in the middle of West Yorkshire.

The main glazed area designed to connect the house with the garden spans nearly ten metres wide and three metres high so naturally lent itself to lift and slide doors. The lift and slide mechanism elevates the gearing within the door making it easy to slide despite the weight of the glass, the doors can also be locked in any open position, which is perfect for allowing ventilation into the space. We offer several solutions for lift and slide doors including triple tracks & a unique quadruple track solution, which would both have been perfect for a huge opening such as this.

A twin track solution however allows for an extremely slim interlock of just 40mm, which was the perfect solution to take advantage of the stunning landscape surrounding this property. The huge width of this door lends itself well to a twin track solution because despite a twin track only allowing a 50% clear opening because of the width of this door, it still crates a five-metre wide open to connect the interior and exterior space.

The glazed return comprises of a fixed picture window that seamlessly connects with the structural steel post and large sliding door via an insulated aluminium pressing that sits behind the feature stone columns.

The results are clear to see. The whole property looks fantastic from inside to out and is a perfect example of the benefits that can be obtained by utilising a skilled architect to design and oversee your homes transformation.

This Lonewood House project was nominated for the 2021 Northern Designs awards and Orange Design Studio received a second nomination for best residential architectural practice and based on this project its easy to see why.

The huge XP Glide S sliding doors add the dramatic and contemporary aesthetic originally intended in the brief. A hugely impressive glass wall that pours natural light and stunning views into the home, whilst allowing an effortless slide to transition from the inside space to the outside.
