NATURAL FINISHES ENHANCE THIS GRAND DESIGNS PROPERTY

Abbey Orchard, lovingly designed by owners Chris and Kayo, combines Japanese and Roman Villa styles, earning its status as a local architectural gem and landmark. Nestled among 150 trees on a 2.7-acre plot, it blends seamlessly with its forest setting while being just five minutes from St Albans town centre and 20 minutes by train to London.

Every detail of the property, from water features to lighting, was meticulously chosen, so selecting the right doors was crucial to preserving its design philosophy. Chris, a returning customer, visited SWR Doors & Awnings in Hemel Hempstead to explore options. He opted for three Hörmann Sectional Garage Doors and two Hörmann Aluminium Entrance Doors, all in terra brown finishes.

Chris shared, “I knew Hörmann’s quality and colours would complement the property, and SWR had proven reliable in the past.”

With Abbey Orchard under media attention, SWR completed the installation within a strict deadline. Manufacturer-trained fitters ensured a seamless process, impressing Chris with their professionalism and expertise. He remarked, “The installation was superb, and the team’s knowledge of the Hörmann range was excellent.”

The result speaks for itself: Hörmann doors enhance the property’s organic aesthetic while meeting its unique design needs. Chris, Kayo, and the SWR team are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to showcasing their work on future Grand Designs visits.
