Creating an Energy-Efficient, Light-Filled Home with Cherwell

Project Overview

This project showcases the transformative impact of Internorm timber-aluminium clad windows and doors installed by Cherwell. Set in a stunning countryside location, the client envisioned a home that seamlessly merged energy efficiency with exceptional design. Our team worked closely with the client to bring this vision to life, prioritising their need for sustainable living while enhancing the home’s natural beauty.

Client Brief

The client sought a home that:

Maximised natural light to create a warm, inviting interior.

Capitalised on countryside views with expansive glazing solutions.

Delivered superior energy efficiency for a sustainable and comfortable living environment.

They wanted practical yet stylish features to create a modern, timeless look.

Our Solution

Timber-Aluminium Sliding Doors:

• The centerpiece of the project is a set of large sliding doors leading to a spacious patio overlooking rolling countryside.
• These doors combine timber interiors for warmth and style with aluminium exteriors for durability and low maintenance.
• The slim profiles maximise the glass area, ensuring uninterrupted views and abundant natural light.

Skylight for Hallway & Landing:

• To brighten internal spaces, we installed a custom-designed skylight in the hallway and landing.
• This feature enhances the flow of light, reducing reliance on artificial lighting while adding architectural interest to the space.

Internorm Timber-Aluminium Windows:

• Throughout the home, Internorm windows were chosen for their exceptional thermal performance and minimalist aesthetics.
• The combination of materials provides a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors while offering optimal insulation.

Energy Efficiency Features:

• All windows and doors were tailored to Passivhaus standards, ensuring exceptional thermal insulation and airtightness.
• These features help to reduce heating costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor climate year-round.

Key Design Highlights     

• Cohesion with Nature: The choice of timber interiors aligns with the natural surroundings, while the sleek aluminium exteriors deliver modern sophistication.
• Uninterrupted Countryside Views: The sliding doors create a seamless transition between the interior and exterior, blurring the lines between the home and the outdoors.
• Light-Filled Interiors: The skylight and large glazing panels ensure that the home remains bright and welcoming, even on overcast days.
