Bespoke Oak Orangery Hand-Carved into Existing Stone Wall.

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

Our clients used to have a fully glazed conservatory that
they found limited the light into their home. They were looking to transform
this into a new extension that would create more usable space and bring more
natural light into their home whilst maintaining a comfortable temperature all
year round.

A Prime Oak Orangery was the perfect solution. By extending
with a flat roof orangery they were able to avoid blocking the views from their
first floor windows, whilst the glass lantern encouraged additional primary
daylight and warmth in creating an ambience within the room that they were
sorely missing before.

However, the biggest difference was the bi-folding doors,
which was a choice that they have not regretted. The original French doors they
had, although helped to open up their room, encroached on the usable space due
to opening inwards. Whereas, in contrast, the bi-folding doors fold outwards to
one side, therefore creating more space and allowing the room to extend
seamlessly out into the garden.

All of our buildings are bespoke and with this particular
project our expert fitting team had to hand carve the oak post so that it fit
seamlessly with their existing stone wall.

We can happily say that our clients have been overjoyed with
the transformation.

Hi, I was just looking at staircases for a project I am working on and came across the images of your hall and your post. I have read all the good comments but could not resist ... throwing a couple of things into the mix that you could consider (budget permitting) ... Oak Parquet flooring is lovely but sometimes the yellow tones often highlighted with sunlight and age affects the choices we make for the walls and banisters and we fancy a change. Replacing the floor would be expensive, however, a relatively cheap and easy option would be to employ a flooring company to sand your existing wood floors. They basically sand them back and then you can choose from a huge number of tones of wood that you would like them to stain/oil/varnish the floor. (It took my guys a couple of days to complete). With the floor in the tone you love... you can then look at the walls and banisters etc. I would recommend painting your current wood banisters that would offer a new look. You could paint the spindles and varnish/paint the banister in another colour i.e. black etc. I would potentially suggest painting the spindles in the same colour as the ceilings. In the F and B colour palette, they use strong white alongside Elephants breath, skimming stone and Dove Tail. I would paint the spindles/stair woodwork Strong White (estate eggshell) and the ceilings Strong White (matt emulsion). I would use the wallpaper you love on the ground floor in between all the doors for maximum effect and a cohesive look. Wallpaper would not take as much traffic on the ground floor walls as it would on the stairwell and could look fabulous. You would then paint the skirting boards , and door architraves in elephants breath, skimming stone , dove tail etc. (Modern Emulsion) Finally, the stair wall (opposite banisters) could either be painted in the same colour as the architrave/skirtings, or a complimentary colour from the palette (either Elephants breath, skimming stone, elephants breath etc.) (Modern Emulsion) Both options would look great. Modern Emulsion is good to use on the stair wall as you can easily wipe it down. Good luck with your refurb. :-)

HI Sarah I love what you have achieved. Many congrats for embracing what you have and creating something that totally enhances the placement of the fireplace. The space looks like it was made for the placement of that perfect chair and you've done a gorgeous job with your selection and placement of art . I am moving with considerable grief from my gorgeous arts and crafts bungalow to an early1970s small house. I have to say this style of architecture in NZ wasnt exactly a highlight. But I set myself a challange to embrace the architecture and look to enhance rather than fight it . That challenge shifted me off my despair track and now I am excited and hopeful and thinking about space and colour and the amazing light pouring in (a quality of houses of this time)..and textures . i feel so cteative in new and diffetent ways...and it's so exciting. seeing what you have achieved - it is very affirming for me I love what you have created.
