PROJECT INFORMATION
Case Study: Transforming a Victorian Home with a Custom Oriel Window
Overview
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, homeowners in Richmond, near London, were looking to enhance the character and natural light in their Victorian home. With its charming architectural features, their home had plenty of potential, but the couple wanted to add a unique element that would both preserve the historic charm and introduce a modern touch. They decided on a custom Oriel window to achieve this transformation and chose BeSpokeGlazingSolutions to bring their vision to life.
The Challenge
The Johnsons were keen to introduce more natural light into their living room, which, like many Victorian homes, had limited window space. They also wanted to create an architectural focal point that would enhance the period character of their home while adding value to the property. The challenge was to design an Oriel window that would seamlessly integrate with the existing structure, maintain the aesthetic integrity of the home, and meet the modern standards of energy efficiency and durability.
Our Solution
During the initial consultation, our team at BeSpokeGlazingSolutions worked closely with the Johnsons to understand their vision and the specific requirements of their home. We proposed a bespoke Oriel window that would project from their living room, creating a striking visual feature both inside and out.
Design and Planning:
We designed the Oriel window to complement the Victorian style of the home, creatimg a contemporary twist. The window featured elegant glass-to-glass corners allowing for a clear unobstructed view.
Material Selection:
To ensure the window was both beautiful and durable, we selected high-quality structural glass. The frame was crafted from powder coated metal for long-lasting performance and is maintenance free.
Installation:
Our skilled installation team carefully integrated the Oriel window into the existing structure, ensuring a seamless connection with the home’s original brickwork. The project was completed on time, with minimal disruption to the Johnsons’ daily life.
The Result
The custom Oriel window exceeded the Johnsons’ expectations, transforming their living room into a bright, welcoming space. The window not only introduced an abundance of natural light but also created a cozy reading nook with a view of the garden, a feature that quickly became the favorite spot in their home.
The new Oriel window added significant character to the exterior of the house, enhancing its curb appeal and blending perfectly with the Victorian architecture. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were thrilled with the outcome, noting how the window had not only improved the aesthetics of their home but also its overall value.
