WOODLANDS

This contemporary two storey home has five bedrooms, 2 kitchen, a kitchenette, 3 ensuites, two powder rooms & a gym, pool & two living areas. A central entry area with access bridges above allowed the space to zone independently with flexibility of use now and in the future. Every balcony enjoys views over lakes & parklands and was very specifically designed for access for all to every part of the home.

Cavity sliding doors with D handles to suit our clients allowed easy access to all spaces. Furniture layouts & circulation spaces where drawn up to make sure ease of movement was accommodated. Sliding door threshold sill models where formed up on site to allow real use simulation prior to installation.

Specific air conditioning requirements where incorporated for thermal comfort. Cross ventilation panels with dampers above internal doors allowed for natural cross ventilation to draw air across the building.
