This light and welcoming orangery has replaced a tired old addition. This stunning architectural feature now provides all year round use.
This early 18th century listed property in Norfolk was extended in the 20th century with a single glazed flat roof extension to the main garden elevation, that had become very draughty.
The owners wished to remove this structure and replace it with a double glazed thermally efficient room providing them with a bright and airy room from which to enjoy their gardens at all times of the day.
The new building needed to be suitably proportioned and remain keeping with the existing elegant tall downstairs sash windows.
Blinds to both side and roof help create a cosy feel to the room in the evenings and during the winter months.
To provide stable functioning doors on tall structures, it is often necessary to incorporate a feature fanlight above the doors to achieve the required height.
These often include decorative architectural detail as shown here, enhancing the overall appearance of the building.
The new orangery has provided an addition of architectural merit and it could be looked back on as a key phase in the buildings organic and evolutionary development.
Our clients returned to us some years later as they wished to improve their existing kitchen and utility area, housed within an old and draughty lean-to structure which offered little in terms of comfort or visual appeal.
To maximise space in the new kitchen, solid walls and lantern were the most practical solution to provide space for wall units.
Inspired by the client’s love of the orangery, the fanlight detail from the orangery was thoughtfully replicated in the new structure to harmonise the two additions.
A solid lead roof was ultimately chosen for the utility and boot room to create an enclosed feel. The room incorporated raised low walls to accommodate units and the worktop.
