Completed in 1967 to a remarkably high standard for the time, by 2018 this striking home needed a major overhaul. After a three-year refurb journey, the house now meets EnerPHit standards of energy efficiency and boasts an almost entirely off-grid energy system, all while preserving the style and legacy of the iconic original home.

Norrsken P31A triple-glazed windows and lift-and-slide-doors were used extensively throughout the property to maximise natural light and views of the stunning surrounding area. Frame finishes blend with the neutral, earthy colour palette used throughout the property and complement the eye-catching copper cladding in particular.

Unmistakably trusted.

The highest compliment is a recommendation. These are the voices of those who placed their trust in us.

“Having used Norrsken in the past we were happy to recommend them to one of our clients who was looking for the best sound proofing and weatherproofing they could get being set on a hill top overlooking the sea and facing strong westerly winds. They were not disappointed. A quality product, delivered well and on time. Thankyou.”

"Excellent Company from start to finish… If only every window supplier operated like this! I have used many others over the years on various projects but Norrsken far exceeded all of them… I hope this helps you make a decision for what is probably a large chunk of your budget… They are totally worth it"
