Social Lounge is a pleasure centered extension of an existing residence in Santa Cruz de La Sierra Bolivia, where the idea of a contemporary paradise is evoked as an unusual discovery. The architecture is not only peculiar, but also it nourishes the imagination, and provides a space suitable for relaxation and socialization. Located at the backyard of an existing family residence, the project provides a ludic and social program that includes a swimming pool, BBQ area for guests, a sauna, a studio, and a guest room. The design premises were to first respect the existing trees, second the position of the pool aims to create an intimate social spot at the back of the building, third a raised platform gives the appearance of a floating structure while the sculptural columns mimic and frame the existing trees, and finally, the upper level serves as an observation deck, providing views to the surrounding trees of the adjacent natural reserve. The predominant use of raw clay bricks and their different arrangements, originates from an intention to reappropriate and reinterpret one of the most traditional construction materials in the Santa Cruz area.

Brass can be a brilliant detail in the kitchen, whether in a lustrous satin finish, or a more matt, burnished effect. From a variety of elegant handle designs to accents such as pendant lamps and counter-top accessories, where there's brass there's beauty!

The beauty of wood can be enjoyed in the kitchen in many ways, from cabinets in reclaimed timber, to feature walls that maximise its natural patterns, to accents such as fitted end-grain chopping boards and oak-lined interiors.

This large oak orangery was designed and built to capitalise on the sensational far-reaching views across the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Situated on top of a hill, this impressive country house required a sensitive design to both complement and enhance the existing building. A natural oak framed orangery was the ideal solution to make the most of this striking location, whilst working sympathetically with the host property, which was built from Cotswold stone, with timber windows and doors. Expertly designed by Ian Mitchell, one of David Salisbury’s most experienced designers and a particular specialist with oak buildings, the before and after photos below show the transformation that this new orangery has brought to this property. The design brief, however, was not entirely straight forward. The challenge was to design a glazed extension that would accommodate the two different door opening heights (best illustrated in the before photo below left), whilst allowing maximum light back into the kitchen behind. Our customer also requested that the new structure allow a view out above the orangery roof from the vaulted ceiling space behind. In order to best exploit the outstanding views, and to create a seamless connection with the garden, twin sets of bi-fold doors were designed for each of the new elevations. Measuring 8.1m wide by 6.1m deep and with a total base area of 49.7 square metres, this large oak orangery has created an open plan living room, extending off the existing kitchen and dining room. With plenty of space for two sofas, this new living room is the go-to space for relaxing or entertaining family and friends. A log burner was included in the early stages of the design, to ensure the appropriate flue could be incorporated, whilst providing a lovely atmosphere on Winter evenings. The finished result is the latest in a long line of oak orangeries, successfully designed and built by David Salisbury, which have helped to transform homes and living spaces all around the country. As our customer noted: “I am delighted with the Orangery that David Salisbury built for me. From design, through to planning and construction both have been superb, and I would highly recommend them. Before commissioning, we approached other well-known wood frame specialists but found David Salisbury to be the most professional and value for money.”
