Here at Crystal Clear Bristol, we are proud to showcase a recent project delivered in collaboration with our trusted partners at Origin. This renovation beautifully demonstrates how the Origin OI-30 internal door system can transform a period property, bringing modern practicality and light-filled design to a home while still celebrating its Victorian character.
Client Vision & Goals
The homeowner sought a renovation that would retain the period property’s historic character while introducing modern utility and seamless openness. Their brief required:
– Preserving natural light and visual flow
– Introducing functional division and privacy where needed
– Maintaining aesthetic compatibility with the Victorian style
Solution: OI-30 Internal Door System by Origin
Key Features Leveraged:
– Ultra-slim sightlines (~30 mm): Despite being a steel-look aluminium system, the OI-30’s minimal frame keeps spaces bright and airy, a crucial aesthetic for period interiors.
– Custom configurations: The doors were tailored to fit Victorian interiors, including French doors, fixed screens, or single doors, and may have included corner setups to suit the spatial nuances.
– Extensive colour and finish options: With over 150 RAL colour choices, the doors can echo or subtly contrast with the home’s period palette.
– Handle and hardware variety: Selections from the Signature, Contemporary, or Heritage collections were likely used to match the home’s character
– Glass & glazing bar flexibility: Clear glass maintains openness, while bars or frosted/reeded glass can deliver privacy where needed; this adaptability preserves a heritage feel yet enables modern functionality.
Implementation & Impact
Bringing Light and Flow Without Compromise
The installed OI-30 internal doors effectively divided key areas, such as hallways and adjoining rooms, or between the living and study areas, without obstructing light or sightlines. The owner’s reflection captures this perfectly:
“They’ve helped create privacy without losing the feeling of openness. We still get all the natural light we wanted, but the space works so much better now.”
These doors redefined the interior, creating distinct zones while maintaining a sense of unity.
“We still get all the natural light we wanted, but the space works so much better now.”
Seamless Installation & Tailored Aesthetics
With our deep regional expertise, we handled the precise installation. Our craftsmanship ensured that the bespoke Origin doors integrated seamlessly with the property’s architectural details, respecting cornices, architraves, and period mouldings.
Enhanced Functionality Meets Timeless Appeal
By using the OI-30 system, the renovation achieved both:
– Privacy and acoustic separation in necessary zones (e.g., study, utility, or dressing areas)
– Visual continuity and brightness across living spaces
– A harmonious blend of heritage aesthetics and contemporary elegance
