Victorian Conservatory for a rectory in Suffolk

Case Study #16

The height and complexity of the roof structure on this conservatory make it light and spacious, featuring an eye-catching breakfront gable, the resulting room creates a wonderful atmosphere for relaxing and dining.

The owners of this architecturally beautiful Victorian home were looking to create a room that stayed true to the history of the home and in which the whole family would want to spend time.

This interesting glazed addition, built off the kitchen, provides a bright and airy space where almost all meals are taken whilst enjoying views of the garden.

Dimensions : 8m x 5.5m
Colour : Mud Pie (Exterior), Mud Pie (Interior)

This project is full of interesting architectural details, including intricate joinery with corbel detail and a stop chamfer bargeboard to the breakfront gable. It also makes use of deep clerestory panels with gothic double arched heads. The steep roof pitch mirrors that on the existing property.

The sheer height of this structure, created by the deep clerestory with gothic arches and large vertically glazed panels in the gable, emphasises the available space and enhances the lofty, airy feel.

Despite the structure facing east and sitting comfortably in the shade of a large tree, the inclusion of blinds to the roof and side still contribute to creating a cosy room.

A pair of internal doors and clerestory panels are set within a large frame to replace the existing old and dilapidated set leading from the kitchen into the conservatory.

The frame is embellished with decorative columns, corbels and detailed entablature to the head.
