Armadale

Location: Armadale
Architect: Chelsea Hing
Builder: AP Build
Landscape Design: Kate Seddon

Metro Steel Windows partnered with AP Build to rejuvenate an early 1900’s postcard factory. Keeping with the heritage aesthetics, our bespoke steel windows and doors provided unification between the contemporary inner space and newly designed garden.

Improved energy efficiency was achieved through double glazed windows and doors throughout.

Glass features include a fluted front door, providing natural bright light and added security and privacy, whilst clear glass French doors continue the timeless heritage tradition.

Casement windows frame the gardens from within and optimize airflow due to greater opening capacity. Attributing to the era, the oculus casement window feature remains a treasured feature.
