Bitte nicht stören
! Pferdekoppel, Streuobstwiese und die Ruhe des Waldes. Das kleine Einfamilienhaus gliedert sich wie selbstverständlich und ganz unaufdringlich in die bestehende Struktur aus Wäldchen, Feldern und Einfamilienhäusern ein. Das freie Baulückengrundstück wurde lange Zeit von Gehölzen und Sträuchern vereinnahmt und lag unscheinbar am Wegesrand der kleinen Sackgassenstraße, worüber gerade mal acht Häuser zu erreichen sind. Das neunte Haus sollte dieses Idyll nicht stören, sondern vervollständigen. Baufluchten und Volumen orientieren sich an den Nachbarn. Die Bauherren, eine junge vierköpfiger Familie, mit Wurzeln in Mülheim und Oberhausen, wollten das Berliner Großstadtflair gegen die Qualitäten der Metropolregion Ruhrgebiet eintauschen. Die Vorzüge aus eng verbundenen und gut miteinander verknüpften Städten und dazu der schnelle Kurzschluss ins Grüne und die Natur direkt vor der Haustür ließen die Entscheidung nicht schwer fallen. Die Nähe zur Familie, Heimat und Freunden aus Kindertagen war da fast nur noch das „i Tüpfelchen“. Aber nicht nur lokal sollte sich das Gebäude einer gewissen Naturverbundenheit unterstellen, auch die Bauweise, die gewählten Materialien und die Haustechnik sollten möglichst ökologisch und sinnvoll eingesetzt werden. So entstand auf kleinem Grundriss ein Energieeffizientes Gebäude im KfW70 Standard. Als Primärbauweise entschieden sich die Bauherren für eine Holzrahmenbauweise mit Zellulosedämmung, dreifach verglaste Holz-Aluminium Fenster, sowie einer Holzfassade aus breiten Lärchendielen. Unterstützt wird die Effizienz der Gebäudehülle durch eine kontrollierte Lüftungsanlage, welches das ganz Jahr über ein angenehmes und behagliches Wohnklima schafft. Grundrissausrichtung und -orientierung der Fenster wurde bewusst auf den Tagesablauf der Bewohner abgestimmt. So findet der Licht und Sonneneinfall dort statt, wo er tageszeitlich gewünscht ist. Das Erdgeschoss bietet viel Raum für das gemeinsame Familienleben. Küche, Esszimmer und Wohnzimmer bilden das offen Herzstück des Erdgeschosses. Die Vielzahl an möglichen Blickbeziehungen zwischen den Bereichen, mit direkter Verknüpfung zum Garten, bieten nicht nur in der Nutzung viele Möglichkeiten. Auch das Spielen im und um das Haus herum spiegeln das Einbinden in die Umgebung besonders gut wieder. Der Baustoff Holz ist überall im Haus spür- und erlebbar. Über die Holz-Aluminium Fenstern mit innenseitig klar lasiertem Fichtenholz, der skulpturalen Innentreppe aus Bau-Schichtholz Platten, hin zur unbehandelten Massivholzdecke. Die Böden hingegen wurden mit einem homogenen Linoleum in dunkel Lila belegt, wodurch Kontrast und Farbabstimmung den Räumen noch mehr Tiefe verleihen. Die Ruhe und Stärke des Erscheinungsbildes werden subtil aber zielgerichtet durch das passgenaue Zusammenspiel von Proportionen, Fassadenbrett & Fuge, sowie den bewusst gesetzten Fensterformaten erzeugt und ist das Resultat einer konsequenten und bis ins Detail ausgearbeiteten Planung.

This was a project in the High Park area that we were asked to remove all the finishes on the interior and re-design the spaces to accommodate an open concept layout. There was a small back stairway that we converted into an eating area for the kitchen and bedroom in the basement. All the exterior walls were re-framed and spray foam insulated. All-new drywall, hardwood, tiles, kitchen, plumbing fixtures, and the old fireplace were re-done. The existing stairs were resurfaced and we added all-new handrails and guardrails.

The open-air foyer at the main entry of the home serves as a picture window framing the bay and jungle behind it. All the home's corridors and hallways are open-air, intended to reduce the air conditioning load and improve the home's energy efficiency. The accent sculpture at the entry was created by the architects, from structural steel scraps from the construction of a staircase on another project.

Mrs Ballard has recently undertaken an extensive refurbishment and extension project at her traditional 1890s Hertfordshire farmhouse. Replacing the original windows at the front of the home as well as specifying new timber sash windows for the new extension, a stunning new front door was also included as part of the project. Mrs Ballard chose a stunning ‘Lydford’ timber front door from the Dale Joinery range, finished in the shade of ‘Chrome Green’. To complete the look at the front of her home, PVD Stainless Polished Brass door hardware from the Coastal range were specified, including the DKB192 Doctor’s Front Door Knocker, REG090 Regent Lever Door Handle and LP400 Sleeved Letter Plate. The PVD Polished Brass finish was the perfect, complementary choice to the dark green finish of the door, and suits the traditional façade. The new front door really is a statement piece, and has added an extra level of beauty to this stunning countryside property.

Green Entrance with a Green Front Door Ideas and Designs

The entrance of your home is a critical area to design well because as we all know, first impressions count. As the first thing that visitors will see when they arrive, your entrance is your opportunity to offer guests a warm welcome while introducing the personality of your home. Equally important, it welcomes you home every day, so make it somewhere that you’re glad to come home to. The entrance to your home begins the moment you get to the front door, so make sure both inside and out get the attention of your decorator’s touch. Make your foyer the best possible introduction to the rest of the house, and if you wish, you can have a bit of fun with the doorway; paint, tiles, door handles and lighting are all ways to make front doors a statement – a dramatic entrance, if you will.

What front doors can I choose from?

Your first decision when updating front doors is what type of external doors you want to use, taking into account style, security and accessibility. Investing in a high quality front door is always worthwhile – this is a purchase where a little extra money goes a long way. Hardwood exterior doors remain the most popular choice of front door; as well as being the most economical, timber also opens the door to an endless selection of paint, hardware and embellishment. However, natural wood doors do have their downsides – prone to warping, they require more upkeep and may require replacing if not adequately cared for. Whether you opt for solid oak external doors or an oak veneer option, wooden doors are a match made in heaven for period architecture – it’s hard to imagine a Georgian house without a solid, six-panel door, or a Victorian home sans its gleaming hardware and stained glass panes. If you prefer non-wooden exterior doors, the alternatives are UPVC doors, GRP doors (collectively known as composite doors) and steel doors. UPVC front doors are often the most inexpensive alternative to timber and offer added insulation benefits; because the material itself can be a comparatively insubstantial, UPVC external doors are built into steel door frames for added reinforcement. GRP (glass-reinforced plastic, or fibreglass to you and me) doors offer the same properties, with a woodgrain effect that can provide a happy medium for lovers of timber. Steel doors are less widely used in the UK than the US, and make great contemporary front doors thanks to their sleek, modern appearance.

How do I decorate my doorway?

Renovating or replacing your front doors is one of the quickest ways to give your home a makeover, and affords the perfect opportunity to add a splash of colour to the front of your home. To improve your front door’s kerb appeal you can flank the doorway with decorative trees or flowering plants in attractive planters and “dress” the door with shiny hardware. Door knockers and door knobs can be more than functional with a range of styles and materials available to add some personality to exterior doors. A traditional brass door knocker can be the perfect complement to a solid oak doorway painted in a rich shade of green or blue, whilst contemporary chrome door hardware will look perfect against a white or eggshell door. If you are looking for an elegant front door option, opt for a hardwood door with built in obscured glass panels to let light into your hallway. If you would rather avoid a glass paned front door for security reasons then smaller decorative glass panels can also be inserted into the surround or door frame. You can choose stained glass panes for decorative effect, patterned or textured glass will allow light in but protect your privacy or get your home name or number etched into a glass pane for a practical but personal touch.

How should I light my front entrance?

The warm glow from a doorway is one of the most welcoming sights that can greet us when we arrive home. An entrance light is of practical importance – we have all spent time fumbling for our house keys in the dark – but it also offers an opportunity to add warmth and character to front doors and entrances. A wall mounted lantern is a charming traditional choice, or for bright, directed illumination opt for a security spotlight. There are a whole variety of switching options available – you can choose a motion sensor light that switches on right when you need it most, a timer light that will offer illumination on a fixed schedule or a switched outdoor light. Pointing light upward is a good way to avoid harsh glare, or choose recessed lighting if you prefer not to have a hanging light in front of your external doors. An entrance is also a great place to display lighting as a decorative feature – choose a table lamp that echoes the lines and colours of the hall beyond it.

What furniture and storage do I need in my entryway?

It’s important to keep the entrance to your home as open and clutter free as possible, so selecting a few practical items that will help with storage and offer a warm welcome is the best approach for this area. Coat stands, umbrella holders and shoe racks are practical foyer additions that will keep the area tidy. For the knick knacks and paraphernalia that so often accumulate by front doors, sideboards or console tables are helpful and opting for a something with a drawer is a clever trick to ensure these things can be stowed out of sight. If you have the space, an armchair, occasional chair or hallway bench will prove useful for perching on when removing shoes and definitely consider multi-functional furniture such as a storage bench for shoes. A wall mounted shoe cabinet is a must have for a tighter space, getting shoes off the floor and neatly stowed away.

How do I decorate my foyer?

Particularly in the entrance to the home, colour can be a wonderful tool to set the tone of the house. Neutral palettes can create a serene atmosphere appropriate for greeting guests; alternatively, you might find yourself being a little bit more adventurous by choosing a whimsical wallpaper or a bold wall colour that could look overwhelming anywhere else in the house. In either case, the foyer can be blended seamlessly into the home with details that connect it to adjoining rooms. Even if your entrance is not self-contained, instead with exterior doors that open straight into the house, visual tricks make it possible to create the illusion of an entryway by defining the space as such. Changes in flooring, a well-placed rug, a screen or curtain, or even furniture such as a console table or coat rack, can be used to delineate the space and distinguish the entrance from the rest of the hallway. Decorating walls and furniture with photographs or artwork is a simple way of bringing your personality into the foyer and plants, lamps, candles, vases and ornaments can be displayed on windowsills, tables or shelves. As a final thoughtful touch, mirrors placed next to front doors are a practical choice for those last minute appearance checks, as long as it’s not directly opposite the doorway, which could back-light the user – decidedly not helpful!
