Oak front doors

House renovation with 6 front, internal & garage doors in European oak 

Chris and Anna Lee, had grand ambitions for their major house renovation down in Surrey and we were delighted to be brought in with the challenge of delivering 6 brand new, bespoke doors.

Working closely with Nova Architecture, we lent our experience to develop a series of door solutions that would match and enhance the impressive house makeover and extension to the back.

European oak was the preferred natural hardwood of choice and this was translated into multiple designs across all door types – front, garage and internal.

Door details:

Front door:  flush Porto design in European oak (1500mm x 2100mm)

Bi-fold garage door: Parma design double bi-fold garage in European oak (5400mm x 2400mm)

Back door: flush Ice V design in European oak (1270mm x 2250mm)

3 x internal doors: fire-rated (FD30) Porto design in European oak (varying sizes)

Architect: Nova Architecture

Porto & Terano European oak doors in a modern, single-storey build

Designed for his parents, the architect of this well-being house created a stunning single level abode featuring 2 of our doors.

The front entrance is adorned by our e98 flush Porto door with a matching wide, flush, boarded panel and additional small sidelight. To maintain the desired minimalist aesthetic, the front door frame has been carefully concealed in the walls allowing the beautiful European oak to shine against the cool stone.

Around the side, our Terano in European oak has been included as an alternative entrance. The Terano design features a glass vision panel and along with plentiful full height windows, adds to the light and bright interior. 

House on the river: Terano solid oak front door

Here at Urban Front we work on some phenomenal projects but not all of them are located in as beautiful and naturally stunning a setting as this one. Contemporary living on a hillside designed by Gillespie Yunnie Architects. 

You can read all about the house at www.gyarchitects.co.uk under projects but here is a little synopsis of the architects description:

'The house has a linear form relating both to the long quayside and terraced fishermen's cottages on the opposite bank. The dramatic cantilevering terraces required a steel frame and intricate detailing to maintain airtightness and thermal performance. The stonewalling was locally sourced and provides contrasting weight to the reflective zinc soffits and fine framed glazing.'

The front door is a bespoke take on our Terano doorset with vertical stainless steel strips and a wider vision panel. The European Oak works very well with the 'dry stacked' stonewalling and zinc detail.

Door Details:

Door design: Terano 

Door range: e80

Lavender Hill: Oslo front door design in oak wood

Creating separate entrances for a group of four maisonettes wasn't going to be easy, but in this case, the developers have done the best they can with a limited amount of space. Building very thin side lites into each doorway has allowed light to filter through to the stairwells. Likewise, using a side return of glass by the entrances on either side, brings in as much light as possible. With the use of our Oslo design in European Oak, the entrances help define the building and offer warmth to the white render and grey detail.

Northwood House: Raw european oak front door 

A true example of how a very simple door can make an impact, this Raw E80 Pivot doorset in solid oak wood is fitted into beautiful art-deco-style glass sidelights. Designed by Jane Duncan Architects, the building has the usual rendered facade with anthracite grey windows with a bit of a twist. The Raw door design has no grooves and depends on the hardwood to shine through with its grain and blonde stripes.
