Located in Earlwood in Sydney, and created by renowned architect Joe Snell, Double Halo House is a design masterpiece: a contemporary ‘forever home’ perched high on a sandstone outcrop. Looking for window coverings that would complement the impeccable style of this home – and provide all-important privacy and thermal control, the design team turned to the team at A’besco. 

On the home’s exterior, they chose to install a range of smart coverings, including a Leiner Sunrain Awning. This awning combines all the advantages of a folding arm awning, with Leiner’s patented Sunrain technology which offers protection from both sun and rain, year round. 

To complete the contemporary exterior, A’besco also recommended Linus horizontal sliding – a very durable aluminium cladding that is invisibly mounted and available in a wide range of colours. This cladding can also run over sliding doors for a seamless and uniform look. Horiso External Venetian Blinds were also used on the outside of this designer home. As well as adding to the sleek and modern look, these blinds reduce solar heat gain, maximise the flow of natural light, and provide essential privacy when needed. The slats also tilt up to 130°, and can fully retract.

SCOPE
Architect Joe Snell was after solutions for his beautiful design to provide the client with privacy, heat protection and aesthetics.

Our team was invited to provide window coverings for this luxury home in the inner-city suburb of Pyrmont. Classic white Cedar Shutters were chosen for the living and dining areas, to maximise the flow of light and enable the owners to control the level of privacy. These shutters were also chosen for their durability, ease of use, and the fact they offer a stylish, consistent look throughout the home. The team at A’besco worked closely with the home’s owners to design shutters which were a perfect fit for every room in the space. 

The home’s owners chose the shutters in white, to suit the home’s overall monochromatic palette, accented with pops of colour.  When open, the shutters allow light to flow into the kitchen and living areas – creating a seamless connection to the courtyard dining area.

When undertaking a stylish renovation of this 1880s Paddington terrace, the owners chose Cedar Shutters for their living areas and master bedroom. These stylish shutters offer a combination of classic style and practical, modern functionality. They also allow plenty of natural light to flow into the home – giving it a light and airy feel throughout. The abundance of light flooding the living spaces is complemented by furniture choices that enhance the feeling of spaciousness despite the building’s narrow footprint. The shutters also work seamlessly with the home’s overall style: a fusion of old and new. 

Durable and easy to use, Cedar Shutters are available in a range of configurations and opening styles. In this Paddington Residence, they are used throughout the living area, and a sliding version is used in the master bedroom – where space is tight.
