Another Orangery Project Successfully Completed

We successfully converted the rear of this 6 bedroom house in West Sussex
The project was to provide an appropriate large kitchen / dining /living space commensurate with the size of the house that also gained visual and practical access to the lovely gardens

Before the project the house had a small dining extension accessed by a narrow internal archway from the kitchen. This dining extension was an eyesore on the property and had subsidence affecting its stability

By clever designing inside we created a much larger dining and living area easily seating 10 to 12 people and with open plan and views of the garden. A peninsular feature divided the kitchen from the living area. The kitchen only lost 2 wall cupboards but gained a great feeling of space and enabled engagement with the living area that eradicated the ‘loneliness’ of a separate kitchen and offering a wonderful view of the garden

Views of the garden not only enables one to appreciate the flora and forna but also enables visual supervision of the children playing. This is achieved by the provision of large patio doors and bifolding doors giving maximum visibility. The large doors opening onto a level patio provides an integrated space with the patio outside for those parties and BBQs.

The central glazed lantern gives an added dimension of light and roof space. The two rood vents provide plenty of ventilation when required and a glazed lantern also allows interesting views of what is happening in the sky above.

Externally - Outside the orangery extension needed not to look like a 'bolt on extension' so attention to detail of the provision of 2 roof gables softens the impact and ties it in with the rood gable features of the house.

The colour of the doors and lantern add a contemporary look without clashing with the original house

The old unsteady decking has been replaced with a wrap around lovely Indian sandstone patio which allows a safe play area for the children and plenty of options to sit in or out of the sun as required.

All the doors and lantern have the latest and most effective double glazing including self cleaning glass in the roof!

Admins - We enabled all the planning and building regulation requirements, the thermal calculations and the structural engineering requirements etc.

It was a pleasure working with such an engaged and discerning customer who appreciated the work and professionalism applied by ourselves.

Customer comment "We are delighted with our new extension that came in within budget. It completely changes the downstairs arrangement improving the living area both inside and out. The design suggestions were much appreciated".
