Maybe some beech hedging on the fence line just to soften and define the line between patio and field also some protection from the wind. Also to stop your sight-line just flying off into the distance as well as unifying the trees. Should make things a bit cosier.

Looks great - did you do it yourself or did you have professional help laying the patio? We are just finishing our kitchen/diner and then we need to clear the builders rubble and relay the garden.

Optimising the use of a dead patio area with a bespoke oak orangery

Comments (0)
The design and build brief from our client in Surrey for this seasoned oak orangery was to optimise the use of a dead patio area and link two buildings; the main house and a barn conversion. Therefore extending the existing kitchen in one building through to the new orangery, incorporating a spiral staircase wine cellar within the orangery floor and provide new access to the lounge area within the other barn building. The orangery features a large oak roof lantern maximising natural light especially through to the kitchen area and as a result of using folding sliding doors on the sides allows the whole area to be open to their landscaped garden. The orangery has a microporous stain finish to reduce ultraviolet light damage and the roof incorporates the latest, soft blue, easy clean, solar control glass having a 0.9 u value and keeps out 83% of the unwanted heat in summer. Click HERE to step inside (well almost!) and take a 360-degree virtual tour of this orangery & click HERE to view more images of this stunning project. You can also watch a short video below to see how we made this project come together for our client, from concept design to build to reality!

We have a brick house with mottled red bricks. We have recently paved a huge area with grey sandstone which is very consistent in colour. The cool grey looks really effective next to the warm brick colour and we are now doing the front with the same. We considered slate, but it is either very dark or mottled and we wanted something which had the right tone. I will send a picture if I can.
