A Vision for Light and Style
For the owners of this home, a recent extension presented the perfect opportunity to reimagine the rear of the property. The ambition was to maximise light, open up the garden views and bring in statement glazing that offered both style and security.
Having always admired steel-style designs, the Soho French Doors in Origin’s textured black finish immediately stood out as the perfect solution, combining the industrial-inspired aesthetic with the benefits of modern aluminium performance.
Why Origin?
Origin was first suggested by the homeowners’ builder, and after exploring the website, the Soho Range quickly became the front-runner. A visit to the Origin showroom alongside a sales rep from KMC Vision confirmed the choice, offering the chance to see the steel-look detailing up close and explore configuration options in person.
“The Soho Range instantly caught our eye, we loved the look, and seeing them in the showroom helped us make the final decision.”
The Details That Make the Difference
The original plan had been to install two sets of French doors, but a mid-project redesign allowed the addition of a large fixed picture window. This feature brings in even more natural light while maintaining visual harmony with the French doors.
The choice of jet black was deliberate: the textured finish enhances the industrial-inspired lines of the Soho range, creating a bold contrast against the softer tones of the home and garden.
The Result: Light, Space and Everyday Enjoyment
Since completion, the homeowners have noticed a transformation in the way they use their new space. The French doors frame views of the garden, and throwing them open each morning has become part of their daily routine.
“The main improvements are the light, the garden view, and just how good the doors and windows look, we’re delighted.”
Family and friends have been equally impressed, often commenting on how well the products complement the extension and how striking the finish looks in person.
