Harpenden, Hertfordshire II

Single sliding door with fixed side screens.

This project in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, focused on defining the boundary between the kitchen and snug, while maintaining light, openness, and a natural flow through the home.

The project featured a single sliding door with a fixed side screen, carefully designed to strike a balance between privacy and connectivity. The side screen was glazed with opaque glass, while the sliding door featured clear glass. This deliberate contrast was introduced to discreetly shield the sofa from direct view in the kitchen and hallway, given its close proximity to the door set.

When the door is closed, the snug transforms into a secluded retreat, warm, quiet, and gently disconnected from the rest of the home, yet still allowing light to pass through. When open, the sliding configuration allows the snug to feel like a natural extension of the kitchen, reinforcing the fluidity of the floorplan and encouraging interaction between the two spaces.

This project demonstrates how thoughtful design decisions can achieve both practical separation and architectural refinement, meeting functional needs while elevating the character and usability of the home.

Our Reviews

“Fantastic looking doors.”

“Found Joshua James online and was impressed with the products they had to offer. After designing and quoting I decided to proceed and the results of the two sets of doors that I ordered are fantastic. I couldn't be happier with the look and finish of them.”
