Caledon, Ontario · Private Residence
The Caledon
House.
Lift & slide systems, floor-to-ceiling windows, and corner glass — a full glazing package for a private estate overlooking the Niagara Escarpment.
The Project
Glass that frames
the escarpment.
The Caledon House was designed around its relationship with the Niagara Escarpment — a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve visible from every major room. The architect's brief was clear: the glazing should disappear, leaving only the landscape.
SIGNATURESPAN supplied and specified a full glazing package across the main living wing. Three lift & slide door systems open the kitchen, dining, and living areas to a continuous rear terrace, with panels travelling on hardened steel rollers to the full 3,200mm width of each bay.
The corner glass system at the dining room eliminates the intermediate post entirely, allowing two full-height panels to meet without a visual break — a frameless junction that disappears in the peripheral view. Floor-to-ceiling window units in the bedroom wing run from sill to soffit in triple-glazed aluminium, delivering a U-value of 0.8 W/m²K throughout.
