Cool Crittall-Style Doors, Windows And Room Dividers

This modern kitchen extension flows onto a terraced seating area with grassy garden beyond.

This dreamy, spacious dressing room is divided from the master bedroom by steel-framed glazing.

The ordered mood of the black-framed glazing is matched by the clean, sleek lines of the super-wide floorboards.
