At Cloately Manor, a Grade II listed building in the Cotswolds, Invisible Windows delivered a harmonious blend of heritage and modern design. Featuring glass-to-glass sliding doors, a pocket door, fixed gable glazing, and full-height glazing, this project preserves the historic charm of the manor while introducing contemporary glazing elements to flood the home with natural light and enhance the connection to its picturesque surroundings.
One of the key features of this project is the integration of glass-to-glass sliding doors, which open the interior spaces to the outdoors, creating a seamless transition and allowing for uninterrupted views. The full-height glazing amplifies the natural light flowing into the rooms, making the space feel open and airy while maintaining the historical character of the manor. The fixed gable glazing further adds to the elegance, framing views of the countryside and enhancing the architectural design.
The pocket door provides a minimalist, space-saving solution that blends functionality with style, maintaining the sleek aesthetic of the modern glazing elements. Working within the constraints of a Grade II listed building required meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the preservation of the building’s historical integrity while integrating high-performance glazing systems. The combination of traditional architecture with contemporary glazing solutions makes Cloately Manor a perfect example of modern luxury within a historic setting.
