Hidden House.
Exceptional architecture, meticulous detail and an entrance to match.
Set within woodland, this remarkable home brings together natural stone, warm timber and expansive glass. The attention to detail extends across every elevation, with materials and proportions that make the most of its beautiful surroundings.
Our bespoke Fortis Aluminium 🇬🇧 entrance spans 5.4 metres wide × 3.3 metres high, creating a dramatic centrepiece within the architecture.
Finished in Black Grey, RAL 7021, the Apex F801 door combines precise horizontal detailing with a recessed vertical handle. Expansive sidelights reflect the surrounding trees and flood the entrance with natural light.
The entrance details, with sizes rounded:
• Overall entrance: 5400mm wide × 3300mm high
• Door section: 1400mm wide × 2400mm high
• Matching infill panel above: 900mm high
• Two sidelights: each 2000mm wide × 3300mm high
The sidelight glass was supplied by Ultraline and fitted into our one-piece aluminium frame, matching the glazing specification of their windows and sliding doors elsewhere in the home.
The infill panel accommodates the internal dropped ceiling, allowing the door to open freely while preserving the impressive exterior proportions.
The F801 design was chosen to match the horizontal lines of the two sectional doors we also installed, creating a coordinated finish in RAL 7021:
• Main garage: 5500mm wide × 2350mm high
• Plant room: 1900mm wide × 2350mm high
A distinctive entrance, crafted for a home of rare character.
