Simplicity Timber Solutions has designed and manufactured numerous bespoke curved folding sliding doors for high-profile residential projects, each one demonstrating what is possible when craftsmanship meets the proven performance of Accoya wood.
Among these, two exceptional residential schemes — both featured in Grand Designs Magazine — stand as refined expressions of design ambition realised without compromise: The Hermitage in Oxford and Silverman’s Cottage in Wiltshire.
At The Hermitage, completed in 2014, the vision was to create a truly distinctive opening — a curved folding sliding door system that would redefine the relationship between inside and out. Such geometry demands absolute precision.
Accoya Natural was specified for its unrivalled dimensional stability, ensuring the doors remain perfectly aligned and smooth in operation through every season. Finished in a dual-colour, factory-applied microporous coating system, the result is both technically assured and visually refined.
The architecture flows uninterrupted into the landscape, delivering a seamless, enduring connection between home and garden — designed not just to impress, but to perform beautifully for decades.
Similarly, at Silverman’s Cottage, completed in 2013 and designed by CMG Architects, the ambition was expansive: to create a light-filled interior with panoramic views and a sense of openness that transforms daily living. Curved sliding doors, windows and a striking multi-faceted lantern light demanded a material capable of supporting complex forms with total reliability.
Accoya was chosen for its stability and long-term performance, offering the homeowner complete confidence in a trouble-free service life. Factory-finished with a waterborne coating system, the joinery achieves a refined aesthetic while meeting the practical demands of a highly glazed structure.
Together, these projects illustrate the essence of Accoya: assured performance, enduring beauty, and the freedom to imagine boldly. Where others adapt to limitation, Accoya enables possibility — elevating craftsmanship and architecture alike to a standard with no equal.
