Alspec systems help frame beautiful views and connect spaces at open plan Adelaide home

Designed and built by Scott Salisbury Homes, this magnificent $3.5-million home, located at 6 Hamilton Street, Somerton Park, SA, is just a stone’s throw from the beach in one of Adelaide’s most desirable suburbs.

Even better, the home also forms part of the Hospital Research Foundation Group Home Lottery grand prize, so the proceeds go to a fantastic cause.

Designed to invite natural light into every corner, the windows and doors frame breathtaking views and connect spaces with seamless elegance.

From the moment this home was conceived, the windows and doors had an important role. The towering 3m-high fixed panels and upper highlight windows in the living area ensure sunlight floods the interiors from morning to evening. They are strategically placed to embrace the warmth of the morning sun and capture the golden hues of dusk, creating an ever-changing masterpiece of light and shadow.

Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. The home had to achieve a BAL rating for bushfire safety and meet strict energy efficiency standards. Scott Salisbury Homes and fabricator, Vivid Glass Windows & Doors, worked closely to ensure the best thermal properties without exceeding budget constraints. Climatech IGUs provided the ideal solution, offering superior insulation while maintaining clarity and style. With Low E double-glazed glass throughout, the windows and doors help regulate temperatures, reducing energy costs and enhancing comfort.

The frames come in a full mixture of Alspec designs, including 50mm, 92mm, and full commercial framing, providing strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Whether opening the home to the outdoor dining area and swimming pool or securing a peaceful retreat inside, they are integral to the seamless open-plan design.
