Case Study
Project: Luxury Villa Rennovation
Location: Velp, Netherlands
Product: Husky Sliding 100
Contractors: Bloot Architectural
Overview
Bloot Architecture, a concept-driven architectural practice located in the Netherlands, who have specified P C Henderson's popular Husky 100 sliding door system for the renovation of a luxury villa in Velp.
Requirements
After falling in love with the beautiful and picturesque national park Veluwezoom in Holland, the architecture firm's client purchased a dilapidated 1950's villa in order to live in their dream location.
Key features of this refurbishment and extension project included the creation of a large open plan living area, full on natural light, with the inclusion of flexible office space built on via an extension. The client also required an entresol space on the upper floor which could be opened up or closed off to be used as a guest room when necessary. The architectural practice's solution was to install large sliding partition doors in both areas which, combined with large windows and passageway, would allow for natural light to penetrate through the building freely.
Solution
With weight capacity of 100kg. P C Henderson's Husky 100 sliding door hardware is identified as the best solution for the project. The system was used in living area and entresol. This means natural light will flow through the building and when closed create small private areas.
Tjeered Bloothofd, owner of Bloot Architectural, commented "Creating a large open space full of natural light was a key feature of the project brief. Sliding partition doors not only complement the modern interior design but also allow wall openings to be fully opened up. Fulfiling the project brief.
Dave Newton our Sales & Commercial Director commented "Creating flexible living areas with functional use of space is becoming more popular. As a result, we've noticed a significant increase in the specification of sliding doors. The project by Bloot Architecture is a fantastic example of that"
