Orchard House occupies a garden that runs down to open water on the West Sussex coast. Designed by Randell Design Group, with West Sussex Carpentry & Building as main contractor, it is arranged as two gabled, timber-clad volumes under standing-seam metal roofs. The form draws quietly on the boat sheds and barns scattered along this stretch of coast. A covered veranda threads along the full garden elevation, glazed balconies sit above it behind clean glass balustrades, and a detached garden room by the pool restates the same material language at a smaller scale.
Fluid Glass was appointed to deliver the glazing for the house and garden room together: a single specification across more than thirty openings, unified by a bespoke marine-grade matt near-black finish, chosen for the waterside setting.
The ground-floor veranda is defined by a run of Fluid Timeless double casement doors held to a 25mm glazing-bar module that gives the elevation its rhythm. At the garden room, two leaves meet at a corner with no post between them, dissolving the junction into a single continuous plane of glass.
Twenty Fluid Timeless windows extend the same discipline across the elevations. The most resolved moment is a fixed glass-to-glass corner window in the living room, where two panes meet at the return with no mullion, framing the pool and garden room beyond as a considered composition.
Two Fluid X Sliding Doors handle the widest openings. A four-pane, two-track door spanning just over six metres opens the kitchen onto the lawn, with 21mm sightlines, a flush colour-matched handle, a concealed threshold and a hidden rail. A smaller two-pane version serves the master bedroom balcony.
Throughout, ironmongery is a powder-coated Art Deco lever handle matched to the frames, and the whole package carries a marine-grade coating specified to hold its finish against salt-laden air well beyond the usual design life of a coastal installation.
