Квартира-хрущевка площадью 22 метра в центре Киева - яркий пример компактного многофункционального дизайна. Нам удалось организовать полноценное, технически оснащенное жилье для посуточной аренды и не выйти за рамки очень скромного бюджета. Полностью перепланировав квартиру, мы привнесли в нее еще больше света и тепла за счет расширения окон, разворотов откосов, и введя дополнительный яркий акцент - сочный, жизнерадостный желтый цвет стен и аксессуаров. В интерьере нашлось место и для рабочего уголка - подоконника с консольной конструкцией, который так же стал местом для приема пищи, для зоны отдыха на балконе, и для полноценного хранения вещей, и для удобной ванной комнаты, санузел максимально расширили и уместили там душевую, умывальник и консольный унитаз. В квартире появилась полноценная кухня. Стена, на которой висит ТВ-панель, интересна по конструктиву: с одной стороны она обеспечивает комфортную ТВ-зону, с другой – является стеной встроенного шкафа в прихожей, а с третьей – прикрывает часть кухни, рабочие процессы которой не должны быть на виду в гостиной зоне. Кухня, не смотря на крошечные габариты, укомплектована полным набором бытовой техники, включая холодильник, варочную поверхность, стиральную и посудомоечную машины. Этот проект – пример компактного многофункционального дизайна.

Radiant 3-Season Room in Gilberts
Radiant 3-Season Room in Gilberts

When Bill and Jackie Fox decided it was time for a 3 Season room, they worked with Todd Jurs at Advance Design Studio to make their back yard dream come true. Situated on an acre lot in Gilberts, the Fox’s wanted to enjoy their yard year round, get away from the mosquitoes, and enhance their home’s living space with an indoor/outdoor space the whole family could enjoy. “Todd and his team at Advance Design Studio did an outstanding job meeting my needs. Todd did an excellent job helping us determine what we needed and how to design the space”, says Bill. The 15’ x 18’ 3 Season’s Room was designed with an open end gable roof, exposing structural open beam cedar rafters and a beautiful tongue and groove Knotty Pine ceiling. The floor is a tongue and groove Douglas Fir, and amenities include a ceiling fan, a wall mounted TV and an outdoor pergola. Adjustable plexi-glass windows can be opened and closed for ease of keeping the space clean, and use in the cooler months. “With this year’s mild seasons, we have actually used our 3 season’s room year round and have really enjoyed it”, reports Bill. “They built us a beautiful 3-season room. Everyone involved was great. Our main builder DJ, was quite a craftsman. Josh our Project Manager was excellent. The final look of the project was outstanding. We could not be happier with the overall look and finished result. I have already recommended Advance Design Studio to my friends”, says Bill Fox. Photographer: Joe Nowak

My clients were having a modest sunroom installed off of their living room that connected to their deck area. It was a small space with two entrances. In order to maximize the floor space and offer versatility, I specified two swivel chairs with storage ottomans. The light fixtures, fan and small end table have an organic theme to marry the view from the outdoors with the interior space. A radiant heat tile floor will keep the room cozy all year round. However, with consideration to sunlight and the potential of extreme temperatures, outdoor rated fabric and furnishings were specified.

This Orangery provides the finishing touches to a completely renovated Georgian rectory in Lincolnshire. An open-plan kitchen extension is created by removing the wall between the two spaces, also allowing light to flood into the once-dark kitchen area. The result is a much-used room which is enjoyed by the whole family at all times of the day. A small built-in dining table makes meal times a pleasure, whilst experiencing the atmosphere of the orangery. Vale Paint Colour- Mud Pie Size- 7.2M X 4.1M

Conservatory with a Standard Ceiling and a Glass Ceiling Ideas and Designs

A conservatory, garden room or orangery is a decidedly British and Irish home extension: a room that allows us to enjoy our outdoor space without having to brave the unpredictable weather. Originally a type of glass house or greenhouse where plants could be grown in sheltered conditions, the modern conservatory now offers flexible entertainment space. Your conservatory can serve as an additional living area, a garden room, a spacious dining room or an open-plan kitchen; all flooded with the extra light that a glass extension will give you.

What conservatory style should I choose?

A lean to conservatory is the most straight-forward garden room structure with a slanted roof that appears to lean on the original house wall. If you’re looking for a small conservatory then the simple rectangular design of lean to conservatories makes them ideal for bungalows and properties with small gardens. The Victorian conservatory is the most common style, with an elegant shape which features a rounded end wall. An Edwardian conservatory is built similarly, but with a rectangular shape that is perhaps more space-efficient. L or P-shaped conservatories combine the styles of both Victorian and Edwardian garden rooms, and offer a versatile space that can be split into separate areas. Contemporary garden rooms with large glass walls are fantastic additions to modern homes or extensions and can create stunning exteriors. However, designs like these do use a lot of space and could require special planning permission. If you don’t have space for a large, contemporary garden room and you aren’t a fan of the uPVC conservatory, orangeries or sunrooms may appeal more; the structure is sympathetically designed to appear consistent with the style of the house.

What is an orangery?

They are both glass-walled and -roofed structures, but what is the difference between a conservatory and an orangery? The traditional orangery has a longer history ‐ it became popular in the 17th Century when homeowners wanted a place to grow citrus plants (e.g. orange trees, hence ‘orangery’) and so built structures, either stand alone or incorporated into their homes, with glass walls and roofs, similar to greenhouses. The conservatory is actually believed to have developed from the orangery after the fashion for growing citrus plants died down. However, homeowners still wanted a place to grow other tropical, herb or shrub plants that would allow sun and warmth into the house in summer and allow the plants to survive in winter. Today, the real difference is in the construction. Orangeries are considered traditional extensions with masonry walls and more standard Victorian structures, whereas modern conservatories can be more varied and made of a range of materials, including timber, uPVC or aluminium.

What type of conservatory furniture do I need?

Chances are your conservatory furniture will see a high amount of direct sunlight. Keep this in mind when choosing pieces, since some fabrics and materials can quickly fade or become uncomfortably hot. Outdoor furniture will generally stand up well to the heat and light exposure of sunrooms and orangeries, but don’t be afraid to mix and match with indoor pieces as well. Wicker, seagrass and rattan furniture items are good options, while you might want to steer away from metal and leather pieces which will get hot in the sunlight. Installing conservatory blinds or shades that can be drawn when the room isn't in use is a smart way to prolong the life of your sunroom furniture when the space is not in use.
