A rear residential extension precedent featuring flush-threshold sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect a brick-walled garden patio to an open-plan kitchen and dining interior.
- What we like about this project
- The corner pivot door extends the opening width beyond standard sliding tracks, fully dissolving the structural corner visually.

- Geometry
- Single-story rear brick extension with a pitched roofline abutting an older multi-story brick structure; wide sliding and pivot glass opening spans the rear elevation.
- Facade system
- Load-bearing brick outer leaf with large-format metal-framed sliding and pivoting glass door system.
- Structural guess
- Masonry cavity walls supporting a pitched roof structure with a steel portal frame or concealed beam over the rear opening.
- Spatial scale
- Domestic scale, single-story garden extension opening directly to a patio.
- Lighting
- Diffused daylight under overcast skies; even illumination across exterior paving and interior depth.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, continuous indoor-outdoor connection defined by masonry and clear glass.
- Environmental context
- Urban or suburban rear garden context bounded by neighboring brick party walls.
- Spatial experience
- The threshold dissolves between the paved outdoor patio and the continuous indoor kitchen and dining spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Symmetrical sliding glass assembly flanked by solid brick piers under a detailed brick lintel header.
