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.”

One of the only surviving examples of a 14thC agricultural building of this type in Cornwall, the ancient Grade II*Listed Medieval Tithe Barn had fallen into dereliction and was on the National Buildings at Risk Register. Numerous previous attempts to obtain planning consent had been unsuccessful, but a detailed and sympathetic approach by The Bazeley Partnership secured the support of English Heritage, thereby enabling this important building to begin a new chapter as a stunning, unique home designed for modern-day living.
A key element of the conversion was the insertion of a contemporary glazed extension which provides a bridge between the older and newer parts of the building. The finished accommodation includes bespoke features such as a new staircase and kitchen and offers an extraordinary blend of old and new in an idyllic location overlooking the Cornish coast.
This complex project required working with traditional building materials and the majority of the stone, timber and slate found on site was utilised in the reconstruction of the barn.
Since completion, the project has been featured in various national and local magazines, as well as being shown on Homes by the Sea on More4.
The project won the prestigious Cornish Buildings Group Main Award for ‘Maer Barn, 14th Century Grade II* Listed Tithe Barn Conversion to Family Dwelling’.

With both parents in this Chiswick family working from home for the foreseeable future, there was an urgent need to create more space as the home office wasn’t big enough for the two of them. So the simple solution was to create a garden office - one that embraced the outoors but which was also within easy reach of the kitchen for a coffee top up.
Reclaimed cladding was used externally to give the office a weathered look, whilst colourful wallpaper and painted doors helped to brighten the space and make it feel more homely. Re-used laboratory worktops form the desk and shelves, and vintage furniture was found for storage.
As an added extra, it was designed so that the concertina doors could open right up to view the television - suspended on an extending bracket - so that the whole family can enjoy movies and sport outside in the summer months.
