The Shards
From quarry to low-energy home
Located on a former quarry site in southern UK, this eco-build Paragraph 80 luxury dwelling stands as a testament to innovative design and environmental harmony. Inspired by the site's history, the design emulates the sharp angles of bricks and glass shards that once filled the quarry. Our minimal windows® systems are seamlessly integrated throughout the structure to create an awe-inspiring, energy-efficient family home. Ultra-slim sliding systems open up to beautifully landscaped patio and garden spaces, ensuring no trade-off between usability and aesthetic appeal.

From the entrance area, you ascend via the light-filled stairwell to the upper floor, which is completely open and thus benefits even more from the generous glass facades. From the kitchen, sliding doors lead to a balcony, offering the perfect view of the lush garden landscapes. Access to the garden is granted through a minimal windows® pivot door, perfectly matching the color of the black wood and the anthracite stone cladding of the building.
