Designed for modern living, Crittall glazed doors and windows with their graphic slim steel frame, industrial aesthetic and effortlessly modern look are having a moment within interior design and are set to become a must-have feature in our homes. In the aptly named Crittall Hall House we divided the wall between the entrance hall and lounge has been replaced by Crittall glazed windows and sliding doors. As well as being used practically to delineate the entrance hall from the lounge space and allowing light to flow, the steel-framed glazing are a statement design feature. Here, the new partitioned floor to ceiling glazing uniquely create a sense of an open-plan inclusive space, whilst allowing the lounge to retain a sense of separation and remain a restful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the entrance and hallway. The strong architectural and minimalist style of Crittall glazing has been used by XUL Architecture to bridge the gap between the period details of the house and the more contemporary aesthetic its clients wanted to achieve. The result is a serene modern interior. Towards the rear of the ground floor in the open plan kitchen diner, XUL Architecture used Crittall style glazing as its inspiration, installing a strikingly contemporary glazed roof and sliding doors to the new side return rear extension. Here the glazing feels more refined, but keeps a graphic edge. Used by XUL Architecture to seamlessly bring the outside in, the interior is flooded with essential daylight, visually enhancing the living space and its functionality whilst providing a sense of well-being through a clear view of the outdoors. We replaced a solid wall with a crittall glass partition between the hallway and the living room. This stunning design feature provides noise insulation whilst visually connecting the spaces and brightening up what would otherwise be a dark entrance lobby. Commenting on the project… “the main concern with narrow terrace houses is how to bring in natural light to a hallway and how to connect the front and back of a house, as often the staircase creates an unwanted divide. Working closely with the client, XUL Architecture replaced a solid wall with a Crittall glass partition between the hallway and the living room.
