A Vision to Restore and Refine
When the homeowners purchased their 1950s property three years ago, they saw beyond tired brickwork and dated interiors. Their ambition was clear: to transform the house into a light-filled, energy-efficient space that celebrated both Georgian-inspired detailing and modern practicality. As part of a full-scale renovation, high-performance glazing played a central role.
“We wanted to open up access to the terrace and garden without compromising on warmth, security or character,” they explained.
Why Origin?
After reviewing a number of national and regional suppliers, the homeowners were particularly impressed by Freedom Bespoke and the Origin product range. The combination of robust design, British manufacturing, and tailored configurations aligned perfectly with their needs.
“We looked at a number of window companies and were most impressed by Freedom and Origin’s product. The quality was visibly higher, refined, solid and secure.”
The Details That Make the Difference
For this project, the homeowners opted for a suite of Origin products that would offer both visual harmony and superior performance across the home. Black aluminium bifold doors create a dramatic opening onto the garden terrace, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection that was central to the redesign. Meanwhile, OW-80 casement windows were selected for their thermal performance and subtle Georgian-style aesthetic.
Internally, OI-30 steel-look glazed doors were fitted to divide living spaces while still allowing light to flow through. These doors were finished with antique brass handles, a choice that has become a particular talking point.
“Everyone says how amazing and beautiful the windows and doors are, especially the internal ones. The brass door handles are really popular with visitors.”
The Result: Light, Warmth and Elegance
From the outset, the homeowners wanted to prioritise insulation, light and character—three qualities that are now deeply embedded in the finished home. The new doors and windows provide exceptional thermal efficiency and acoustic control, while their slim sightlines and timeless styling have elevated the overall aesthetic of the property.
“Since the install, the main improvements have been insulation and an open, airy feeling. We love it all.”
Installation Excellence
The installation was carried out by Freedom Bespoke, who provided a seamless experience from initial site visit through to final fit.
“Freedom offered a brilliant service for measuring and fitting. Professional, efficient and extremely precise.”
Would They Recommend Origin?
“Absolutely. The product is first class and streets ahead of the other options we saw in our price range.”
