Conservatory design

Contemporary conservatories and glass extensions, designed for thermal performance and coordinated with the structure of the house.

A considered addition to a home, set among mature planting
The brief

Contemporary conservatories and glass extensions are designed for comfort throughout the year, and as part of the house rather than an addition to it.

Approach

Orientation, glazing specification, shading and ventilation are resolved together so that the room avoids the extremes of temperature associated with traditional conservatories.

Planning and regulation

Many conservatories fall within permitted development; larger proposals and those in conservation areas require planning permission. Some are exempt from parts of the Building Regulations where they are thermally separated from the house.

Delivery

The studio prepares the design, planning submission where required, and technical coordination with the manufacturer and contractor.

Fees

Fees are fixed for each stage and confirmed in writing once the scope is agreed. Construction cost depends on the site, the specification and the procurement route, and is established through an indicative cost plan at feasibility stage.
