A contemporary self-build home which combines cutting-edge windows from Internorm & Solarlux with traditional materials

Discover this stunning self-build home in Nottinghamshire, where traditional barn-inspired architecture meets cutting-edge glazing technology.
In this case study, the homeowner and Silje from Spectrum Architectural Glazing explain how they created a beautiful, energy-efficient new home within a conservation area. The project combines the timeless appearance of traditional timber with the exceptional thermal performance of Internorm triple-glazed windows and Solarlux ultra-slim sliding doors.
Including drone footage, interior walkthroughs and interviews with the client, this short film explores the design decisions, technical challenges and finished result of this remarkable self-build project.
Because the home replaced a series of open barns, the design needed to preserve the character, proportions and openness of the original buildings while delivering the comfort and energy efficiency the clients wanted to achieve. Internorm timber-aluminium windows were chosen to provide a warm natural timber finish internally, outstanding insulation and Georgian glazing bars to complement the conservation area. Large fixed and sliding glazed elevations overlooking the courtyard, supported by solid oak columns, recreate the appearance of the original open barns while flooding the home with natural light.
Working closely with the homeowners, architects and builders, Spectrum Architectural Glazing helped deliver a glazing solution that combines exceptional performance, beautiful design and outstanding craftsmanship.

Situated on a hillside, this remarkable modern home is a perfect example of what can be achieved with Internorm windows and doors with our experts and the client working closely together.

The homeowner had considered other Internorm distribution partners but decided on Spectrum after meeting with us at their showroom in in Newport. He was impressed with our experience and our ideas.

An old bungalow, which occupied this large plot, was demolished to make way for this three-storey contemporary, energy-efficient Passive House certified newbuild with high ceilings and a beautiful open staircase connecting the ground floor bedrooms to the upper floor living and offices areas.

To make the most of the stunning views over the garden and the Yorkshire countryside, 14m of fixed timber-aluminium glazing was installed one side of the building on the upper level. The final specifcation came from extensive discusions and advice form our expert technical people. Light from the large glazing fills the contemporary open plan living and dining area, creating a calm and bright space. French doors with Juliette balconies were added on the side on the suggestion of Spectrum to allow the owners to enjoy fresh air and uninterrupted views.

The result: just wow!

This unique modular timber house was built in complete modules in Welshpool, Wales, and installed in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland
We fitted the Internorm windows and sliding in Wales prior to the modules being trucked as wide loads to the islands. The building was so well constructed that the windows and sliding doors worked perfectly after transportation and installation of the building.

The style is unique, and the owner (and architect) specifically chose Kastrup windows as the Danish style worked so well with his vision, and the high-performance helped make the home comfortable in all weather.
