The Barns of Freeling

1. What type of windows and doors were specified for The Barns of Freeling, and in which rooms?

Entry into each of the silo accommodation spaces is through a hinged door, with a large fixed lite window that floods the dining and kitchenette with natural light. The living space features French doors, fixed lite, and awning windows with an openable sash for ventilation, that are positioned low to the ground, so as not to obstruct the expansive views beyond.

Each silo features a split-level interior, with access to the first floor via a curved staircase that leads to the bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom features a high, coned ceiling with French doors that open out onto a suspended curved balcony with sweeping views of the picturesque wine and grain region.

The property’s adjoining event space features large fixed lite and double hung windows which promote cool breezes. These are positioned alongside 6-metre-wide Commercial Series Sliding Doors which feature a flat sill for zero threshold installation, which offers a seamless transition to the outdoor entertaining spaces.
