Woodfield Orangery & Kitchen Extension

Unifying Three Rooms into One Cohesive Social Hub

The primary objective for this Maidenhead residence was a total spatial reconfiguration. The original layout was compartmentalized, with three distinct rooms hindering the flow of family life. By removing several internal load-bearing walls and opening up the rear elevation, we created a vast, unified footprint. This new space seamlessly integrates a high-end kitchen, a formal dining area, and a cozy “snug” zone. The result is an architectural synergy that transforms the back of the house into a single, light-drenched environment designed for modern, multi-functional living.

Re-Engineering the Ground Floor for Total Open-Plan Flow

The Narrative: To achieve this level of openness, the project required complex structural engineering. Beyond the removal of internal walls, we installed high-span RSJs to support the upper stories, allowing for a pillar-less transition into the new orangery extension. Beneath the surface, we installed a comprehensive wet underfloor heating system topped with hand-selected stone flooring for consistent thermal mass. Every detail was planned for permanence, from the masonry-up construction to the hand-painted hardwood window frames that match the property’s heritage character.

Structural Engineering & Load-Bearing Integration
The structural transformation of the Woodfield residence was a complex undertaking that required the total reconfiguration of the ground floor's load-bearing footprint. To merge three compartmentalized rooms into a single open-plan hub, we executed the removal of multiple internal masonry walls, replacing them with high-span, high-yield structural steel (RSJs). These beams were precision-engineered to support the existing upper-story floor joists and roof loads, facilitating a completely pillar-less transition from the original house into the new orangery extension. This "wide-aperture" engineering was critical to ensuring the kitchen, dining, and snug areas functioned as a singular, unified volume without the visual or physical obstruction of structural piers.
Thermal Performance & Climate Control Systems
To ensure the new 365-day living space met the highest thermal efficiency standards, we installed a comprehensive wet underfloor heating (UFH) system throughout the entire ground floor. This system was integrated into a multi-layered floor screed designed for maximum thermal mass, allowing the hand-selected stone flooring to act as a heat sink for consistent, radiant warmth. The climate control strategy is further supported by our flagship roof lantern glazing, which utilizes argon-filled units with a solar-control coating. This glass technology reflects 78% of external solar heat gain during summer months while maintaining a superior U-value to prevent heat loss in winter, creating a stable internal temperate zone regardless of external conditions.
Bespoke Joinery & Material Longevity
The architectural shell is constructed from sustainably sourced, FSC-certified Solid Sapele Hardwood, selected for its natural density and resistance to moisture-induced movement. For the high-exposure elements of the entablature and fascias, we utilized Tricoya®—an acetylated wood technology that provides a 50-year rot-resistance guarantee even in subterranean or high-moisture environments. The joinery was finished with a multi-stage Teknos microporous paint system, which allows the timber to "breathe" while providing a robust barrier against UV degradation. This hybrid material approach ensures that the Maidenhead extension maintains its structural and aesthetic integrity with significantly lower maintenance cycles than standard timber builds.
Advanced Interior Systems & Hidden Access
Beyond the structural shell, the project featured advanced "hidden" interior engineering. A key requirement was the integration of a fully kitted-out utility room without disrupting the clean architectural lines of the kitchen. We engineered a "jib-door" system—a hidden access point disguised within the bespoke kitchen cabinetry—providing a seamless transition to the utility zone while maintaining a continuous aesthetic flow. The interior fit-out also included a custom-engineered media wall in the snug, designed with integrated cable management and ventilation for high-end AV equipment, ensuring that the modern technology within the home is housed in a structure of traditional craftsmanship.
Hybrid Roofing & Weather-Proofing Details
The roof of the Woodfield orangery utilizes a high-performance hybrid system, combining traditional heritage aesthetics with modern industrial durability. The internal lantern rafters were hand-crafted from Sapele hardwood to provide internal warmth and character, while the exterior was capped with bespoke, powder-coated aluminium profiles to protect the timber from the elements. The entire entablature was finished with traditional Code 5 lead dressing, meticulously hand-bossed to create a permanent, weather-tight seal between the new structure and the original rendered masonry. This intersection of leadwork and aluminium cappings represents the pinnacle of modern heritage engineering, designed for total permanence.
Structural Engineering & Load-Bearing Integration
The Woodfield residence required a major structural reconfiguration to create an open-plan layout. Multiple internal masonry walls were removed and replaced with high-span structural steel beams (RSJs) to support upper-floor and roof loads. This engineering allowed a seamless, pillar-less transition from the main house into the new orangery extension.
Thermal Performance & Climate Control Systems
A full wet underfloor heating (UFH) system was installed across the ground floor to ensure year-round comfort. The system works with a high-mass screed and natural stone flooring to distribute consistent radiant heat. Argon-filled roof lantern glazing with solar-control coating regulates temperature by reducing summer heat gain and winter heat loss.
Bespoke Joinery & Material Longevity
The structure uses FSC-certified Solid Sapele hardwood, chosen for durability and resistance to moisture movement. High-exposure elements are built with Tricoya® technology, offering exceptional rot resistance and longevity. A Teknos microporous paint system protects the timber while allowing it to breathe and resist UV damage.
Advanced Interior Systems & Hidden Access
The interior includes engineered hidden solutions to maintain clean architectural lines. A discreet jib-door within the kitchen cabinetry provides access to a fully equipped utility room. The snug area also features a custom media wall with integrated cable management and ventilation for AV systems.
Hybrid Roofing & Weather-Proofing Details
The orangery roof combines traditional craftsmanship with modern protection systems. Internal Sapele rafters provide warmth and character, while powder-coated aluminium caps protect the exterior structure. Code 5 lead dressing ensures a durable, weather-tight seal between the extension and the original building.
Bespoke Cabinetry & Interior Innovation

Hidden Doors, Media Walls, and Culinary Precision The interior of the Woodfield project is defined by our handcrafted, bespoke cabinetry. To maintain the clean lines of the kitchen, we engineered a hidden door within the cabinetry run, providing discreet access to a fully kitted-out utility room.

The Kitchen & Island: A custom-built culinary centre designed as the focal point under the natural light of the roof lantern.

The Living Zones: The transformation extends into the snug with a bespoke media wall and a traditional dresser, ensuring that the furniture feels like a structural part of the architecture.

The Finish: From the luxury kitchen island to the full utility fit-out, every piece was hand-painted to harmonize with the soft interior palette and the natural stone floors.
