Glass sliding doors surrounding the living areas of this coastal house in South Africa can be retracted to create open-air spaces overlooking the ocean (+ slideshow). Australia-based Gavin Maddock Design Studio designed the Pearl Bay Residence as a holiday home for a client who will eventually retire to the spot located in the harbour town of Yzerfontein, 90 kilometres up the western coast from Cape Town. The client requested a modern house that makes the most of ocean views from a site on a dune, which rises gradually away from the shore. A pair of white cubic volumes arranged on either side of a garden contain three bedrooms, four bathrooms and living and dining areas that can be completely opened up to the outdoors. "The architecture and interiors enjoy various aesthetic interests and were inspired by the west coast landscape, which is quite textural and typified by simple white houses and cottages reminiscent of the Mediterranean," said Maddock. The verticality of the building's double-height volumes is emphasised by strips of glazing that interrupt the surfaces of the front and rear sections.

A garage that extends towards the road is fronted by a rolling timber shutter. It adjoins a sheltered entrance to one side and a two-storey wing that contains bedrooms on both its ground and first floor levels. The entrance leads to a single-storey gallery that connects the home's two pavilions. One side of the passage accommodates a daybed and artworks sheltered from the sun by a timber screen. car window repair lombard ilThe other side is lined with sliding doors that open onto the turfed area.lowes garage door track The main living, kitchen and dining spaces on the ground floor are positioned to look out towards the ocean through full-height windows, which slide to one side to create the feel of an outdoor terrace.samsung door lock reset

A timber deck between the lounge and the garden can be sealed off with sliding partitions on either side. When all the glazing is retracted the entire rear of the ground floor is open to the sea breezes. "There is a seamless flow between these spaces and a sense of uninterrupted connection between inside and outside," said Maddock, who added that the opening towards the ocean "was stretched to the maximum of 14 metres using strategically placed columns."garage door reno nevada The master bedroom and its en-suite on the first floor can also be opened up to the sea views on two sides.internal doors for sale in liverpool A custom-made shower encased in glass was added to maximise the feeling of space in the bathroom.mini cooper 5 door malaysia

Materials and furniture throughout the property were chosen to add a warm and tactile contrast to the white walls. The texture of granite tiles references rocks along the shoreline, while the bedroom floors are made from wide oak boards.

I would like to pass on my thanks to your team. The work was done timeouslyIt is a pleasure for once to work with a company who keep their commitments and provide an excellent level of service.We will not hesitate to recommend your company. --By :  Chris McKie Eurostyle installed aluminium windows and doors in a newly built residence of ours. At the same time another company installed doors in a property I was renovating. Eurostyle came out tops in all comparisons. Deon of Eurostyle was simply excellent. He refused to install the doors until the builder had waterproofed the surrounds to his satisfaction. The builder wasn't terribly happy about it but eventually complied. Result: Not one drop of rain in a huge expanse of windows and doors which have faced the brunt of the Cape Town storms this season. I am so impressed. By contrast the other set of windows installed by another company have leaked copiously all winter and had to be removed and re installed. Kudos to Deon and Eurostyle.

--By :  Excellent Service And Great Product Hello Peter Report Thank you for this statement. I am just waiting for the paint work to be completed, and then will happily pay the full amount outstanding. Please tell everyone who has been involved in all the various parts of this job just how happy I am with my new door. The big factor that the leaking has ceased is also very good. I have been most impressed with Etienne’s promptness and doing the job on the day that he says. It is so nice to have a company that does the job efficiently and right first time round!!!!!! Big thanks to all. Attached please find final payment on Quote 1248. May I take this opportunity of thanking you all for your wonderful workmanship and ethics as a company. The constant communication especially, was fantastic, thank you Shaun. We live on a busy street and our beautiful windows are attracting a great deal of attention. I hope to be able to generate a lot of interest in your company for future business and to hopefully be in a position to have the remainder of my house's windows changed soon.

Go well and keep up the excellent work. --By :  Maureen von Berg Hi Etienne, We have been extremely pleased with the manner in which Sunplan have handled the difficulties, not of their making, to complete our installation before the year end. The staff are excellent and certainly know their job. They have been a pleasure on site. We are pleased with the outcome and are thoroughly enjoining our enclosed patio. --By :  Les Lategan Hi Etienne Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to provide you with feedback. I wish to compliment you personally for being accessible, always answering you phone or getting back to me very quickly. Your product is magnificent and has added a new dimension to our seaside apartment. It is well made and is reasonably priced. --By :  Charlene Mayers Enclosing our apartment balcony, was the BEST idea ever ! The friendly and helpful SUNPLAN-team did a great job, quality product and good service. It serves our purpose perfectly: excellent wind protection, no more cleaning of the sticky sand daily, no traffic noise, easy to clean.
