A Home Brought to Life with Origin

When this homeowner moved into their property four years ago, they saw huge potential but knew they wanted to put their own stamp on it. As part of an extensive refurbishment and modernisation project, they set out to enhance the space while preserving its original character. One of the standout elements of this transformation was the addition of Origin’s bespoke aluminium doors and windows.

Creating a Light-Filled, Seamless Living Space

The primary motivation behind choosing bifold doors was simple: to maximise the connection between the home and garden. The owners wanted a brighter, airier space that would allow them to enjoy their outdoor area all year round. The expansive glazing means they now have uninterrupted views of the garden from almost every angle of the downstairs, and when fully opened, the doors create a seamless transition between inside and out.

Inspired by Quality and Craftsmanship

Already familiar with Origin’s reputation for quality, the homeowners had been following the brand for some time. The combination of precision engineering, a prestigious family-owned business ethos, and the ability to tailor every detail to their needs made Origin the perfect choice. In fact, they spent time exploring Origin brochures and case studies before making their final decision, so much so that one particular case study even influenced their architect’s plans for a striking gable window feature.

A Bespoke Choice with Aesthetic Impact

Choosing the perfect colour was crucial. The homeowners knew they wanted a dark grey finish to complement their slate roof and cladding. Anthracite felt too light, black was too bold, but Origin’s dark grey (RAL 7021) struck the perfect balance, beautifully tying in with their home’s brickwork and overall aesthetic.

A Transformation Both Practical and Stylish

Since the installation, the impact has been game-changing. During the summer, they love the ability to fully open up their downstairs living space to the garden, something particularly beneficial with their dog. Even in the colder months, the increased natural light and expansive views mean they can still enjoy the outdoors from the warmth of their home.

A Show-Stopping Feature for Family and Friends

Guests have been quick to comment on how the new doors and windows have modernised the space, enhancing both its openness and style. The floating mullion corner has been a particular highlight, disappearing completely when the doors are fully open, delivering that ‘wow’ factor.
