Our residential architecture has come of age

Increasingly, New Zealanders have a sophisticated knowledge and appreciation of how good design can shape the way we live. Homeowners are stretching the limits: they’re looking for confident, exciting architecture and products where a stylish materiality works hand-in-hand with supreme functionality.

Large-scale homes demand expansive ideas and bold solutions and the Atlantic High Performance Suite from Altus Windows is not short on these. This range of high-spec doors and windows is a robust system that can carry the load – with ease. An increase in maximum rolling weight per panel means there are myriad configuration options: bigger openings provide bigger views and make bigger design statements.

So when a standard response just won’t do, go beyond the expected and expand your design horizons. Because although pioneer of modern architecture Mies van Der Rohe proclaimed “less is more”, there are times when, undeniably, more is better.

Atlantic48™ fits perfectly with all the high end selections for fixtures and fittings. A home of this quality, style or scale demands the highest quality product.

This product system is capable of reaching up to 3.2m in height, or higher depending on unit type and application. The system well exceeds the extreme wind zone requirement.

A serious home, very big, or small and edgy, like a central city pad built in between others or a Piha glass box bach on a windy cliff top beachfront or a site that is just difficult. The location will demand the Atlantic48™ is chosen because of its capability. This product system is capable of reaching up to 3.2m in height, depending on unit type and application. The Atlantic48™ well exceeds the extreme wind zone requirement.

The system integrates seamlessly with our other product systems, including the Baltic™ Commercial, Flush Glaze and Shop Front systems to ensure a flawless architectural result. The 4 window frame options allow a consistent internal and external finish across multiple products. For example, why not marry a hinged door, window and a stacker door with a consistent look across all three products.
