Built for living , loved for a lifetime.
From a Leaking Structure to a High-Performance Social Hub The primary objective of this Warwickshire project was to rescue a traditional farmhouse from a failing, leaking oak timber conservatory. The homeowners required a solution that maintained the heritage aesthetic of their rural home while providing the year-round habitability that the previous structure lacked. We designed a ground-up Sapele hardwood orangery that functions as a permanent, high-performance extension. By dissolving the boundaries between the kitchen and the new dining area, we created a stunning open-plan flow that prioritizes light, warmth, and structural integrity.
Inside, the orangery is centred around a bright dining space where floor-to-ceiling glazing and a glazed roof lantern draw natural light deep into the room while framing wide garden views. Complementing the interior openness, the project also highlights bespoke craftsmanship through carefully detailed timber joinery, polished chrome hardware, and classic exterior pilasters demonstrating the precision and character that define a fully custom-built orangery rather than a standard modular structure.

Matching the heavy masonry and intricate rooflines of the existing Victorian architecture.

Replacing thin glazing and polycarbonate with high-performance solar-control glass.

Creating a seamless flow between the internal living space and the manicured gardens.
You want to show the “view from the table.” This highlights the floor-to-ceiling light, the roof lantern, and the panoramic views.
This proves the “Bespoke” claim. Show the polished chrome handles (hardware) and the exterior pilaster details. It emphasizes that you don’t use generic “kits
This is a high-emotion shot. It shows the orangery as a warm, inviting part of the home at night, proving it is a 365-day room, not just for summer.
The finished project has completely redefined the rear elevation of the property. The new orangery provides a light-filled sanctuary that remains cool in the summer and cozy during the Cheshire winters.
By using a central glass lantern roof, we maintained the “outdoor-in” feel of a conservatory but added the structural integrity and aesthetic value of a high-end extension. It isn’t just a room; it’s an investment in the home’s legacy.
