A construction project XXL
This architect-designed house was built in the Loire region of France with a specific objective in mind: to achieve a high level of luminosity with a maximum number of openings onto the swimming pool. The owners also chose to integrate a pergola into their project, so that it would become a living space in its own right. They wanted a modern, uncluttered design.
This challenge was met by Installux partner Durieux Fermetures. It proposed a range of aluminum joinery that brings luminosity and finesse to the living area.
Slimmer aluminum masses for greater glazing clarity
To open up the minimum of aluminum sight mass on the façade, the craftsman recommended the Espace® 70TH concealed sash window. The principle: a sash is hidden behind the frame on the outside by a gasket.
Light control is then achieved through the glazing. In fact, he installed Espace® 70TH fixed frames with solar control glass infills. In addition, the bathroom windows are fitted with sandblasted glass to provide both light and privacy. The living areas are fitted with sliding bay windows, creating a direct opening to the outside world. To achieve this, the joiner-manufacturer chose the Galaxie® 32TH pocket sliding system.
To take advantage of the openness of the rooms and the light without the nuisance of insects, the craftsman integrated mosquito screens slid sideways on the sliding systems. In this way, they allow natural ventilation of the rooms, avoiding any nuisance.
Create a real living space with the bioclimatic pergola
To make the most of the extra space around the pool, the craftsman recommended installing a bioclimatic pergola. This idea was immediately adopted by the owners.
The craftsman installed a bioclimatic pergola with adjustable slats. In fact, the latter makes it possible to control light exposure to regulate temperature. It also features a side awning and LED light.
The entire project uses the same color: anthracite gray. This color brings modernity to the joinery as well as homogeneity with the pergola.
Subsequently, the owners designed a summer kitchen under the pergola. It has thus become a living space in its own right for spending convivial moments around the pool.
