The glass enclosed room is 500 sq.ft., and is immediately above the owner’s indoor swimming pool. The tall side walls float the lantern roof like a halo. The conservatory climbs to a whole new height, literally, 45′ from the ground. The conservatory is designed to compliment the architecture of the home's dramatic height, and is situated to overlook the homeowners in-ground pool, which is accessed by an elevator.

Set comfortably in the Northamptonshire countryside, this family home oozes character with the addition of a Westbury Orangery. Transforming the southwest aspect of the building with its two sides of joinery, the orangery has been finished externally in the shade ‘Westbury Grey’. Perfectly complementing the existing window frames and rich Grey colour from the roof tiles. Internally the doors and windows have been painted in the shade ‘Wash White’ to reflect the homeowners light and airy interior style.

Modern living and busy family life has resulted in the kitchen increasingly becoming the favourite room in the home. It can be a relaxing and informal place where recreation and work go hand in hand. A sunny cheerful kitchen is everyone’s ideal, and a kitchen conservatory provides just that. It will be used at all times of the day by all members of the family for a wide range of purposes. Folding doors open the conservatory onto the garden. This project shows how a contemporary feel can be achieved whilst adding a traditional timber and glazed extension. Brick piers and solid walls add to both design and functionality of the room. Vale Paint Colour - Tempest Size- 6.0M X 7.8M

This contemporary conservatory located in Hamilton, Massachusetts features our solid Sapele mahogany custom glass roof system and Andersen 400 series casement windows and doors. Our client desired a space that would offer an outdoor feeling alongside unique and luxurious additions such as a corner fireplace and custom accent lighting. The combination of the full glass wall façade and hip roof design provides tremendous light levels during the day, while the fully functional fireplace and warm lighting creates an amazing atmosphere at night. This pairing is truly the best of both worlds and is exactly what our client had envisioned. Acting as the full service design/build firm, Sunspace Design, Inc. poured the full basement foundation for utilities and added storage. Our experienced craftsmen added an exterior deck for outdoor dining and direct access to the backyard. The new space has eleven operable windows as well as air conditioning and heat to provide year-round comfort. A new set of French doors provides an elegant transition from the existing house while also conveying light to the adjacent rooms. Sunspace Design, Inc. worked closely with the client and Siemasko + Verbridge Architecture in Beverly, Massachusetts to develop, manage and build every aspect of this beautiful project. As a result, the client can now enjoy a warm fire while watching the winter snow fall outside. The architectural elements of the conservatory are bolstered by our use of high performance glass with excellent light transmittance, solar control, and insulating values. Sunspace Design, Inc. has unlimited design capabilities and uses all in-house craftsmen to manufacture and build its conservatories, orangeries, and sunrooms as well as its custom skylights and roof lanterns. Using solid conventional wall framing along with the best windows and doors from top manufacturers, we can easily blend these spaces with the design elements of each individual home. For architects and designers we offer an excellent service that enables the architect to develop the concept while we provide the technical drawings to transform the idea to reality. For builders, we can provide the glass portion of a project while they perform all of the traditional construction, just as they would on any project. As craftsmen and builders ourselves, we work with these groups to create seamless transition between their work and ours.

Twin Orangeries & Oak Garden Room for Thatched Family Home This multi-phase project for this Grade II listed thatched family home in Hampshire has helped to transform this charming house and garden into a luxurious living space, packed full of features for today’s modern lifestyle. Over several contracts, our customer chose David Salisbury to design and install effectively 3 different extensions: two orangeries and an oak garden room. We will take a look at each of these structures in turn. Orangery for rear of property to extend kitchen The first phase involved the design of a substantial orangery measuring just under 7.5 metres across by approximately 3m deep, extending across the main portion of the rear of this cottage. This created a light-filled open place living space off the existing kitchen, designed to accommodate a large dining area. Whilst the French doors and extensive roof lantern are perhaps the central exterior design features, the basement spiral wine cellar is the most eye-catching design highlight from an interior perspective. The overall design scheme needed to consider the removal of a couple of existing windows, one of which was a bay window, along with interior access to the utility room and connection to the new oak garden room. The complexity of this design and associated engineering required underline the benefits of choosing an award-winning manufacturer like David Salisbury. The bespoke timber joinery is finished in the sympathetic shade of Pebble White, from our own unique colour palette. Oak Garden Room The separate oak garden room was designed, manufactured and installed in parallel with the main orangery. An interesting design, with a fully tiled roof to complement the rear gables of the original building, it was rounded off with oak weather boarding to complete the look. Although connected with access to the orangery, this oak framed structure appears like a freestanding building. Combining the practicality of a utility room with a boot room, along with plenty of space for the family dogs, this design is the perfect marriage of form and function. Re-thinking the existing orangery Finally, a smaller legacy orangery needed updating, the result of a previous extension, in order to complement the look of the larger new orangery. A new roof lantern and replacement joinery sides were designed and installed a couple of years after the initial projects. Utilising the same Pebble White paint finish and same design features, this original orangery link has now been updated to create a join-up look across the rear of the main part of the home. As with every listed building project, the key was to ensure the design was sympathetic to the original building. David Salisbury handled all of the planning permission and listed building consents, with a detailed Heritage Statement, written by our designer Nigel Blake, a key consideration. With every element of this project now complete, the rear of this property has been truly transformed – with a significantly increased footprint, stylish additional living space and views of the beautifully tended gardens.

Folding doors are a fantastic way of opening a room and making the most of your garden. Bronze windows set within the timber framework complement the metal windows on the house. The windows are framed internally with decorative pilasters Vale Paint Colour- Exterior Earth, Interior Porcini Size- 10.9M X 6.5M

Sunspace Design’s principal service area extends along the seacoast corridor from Massachusetts to Maine, but it’s not every day that we’re able to work on a true oceanside project! This gorgeous two-tier conservatory was the result of a collaboration between Sunspace Design, TMS Architects and Interiors, and Architectural Builders. Sunspace was brought in to complete the conservatory addition envisioned by TMS, while Architectural Builders served as the general contractor. The two-tier conservatory is an expansion to the existing residence. The 750 square foot design includes a 225 square foot cupola and stunning glass roof. Sunspace’s classic mahogany framing has been paired with copper flashing and caps. Thermal performance is especially important in coastal New England, so we’ve used insulated tempered glass layered upon laminated safety glass, with argon gas filling the spaces between the panes. We worked in close conjunction with TMS and Architectural Builders at each step of the journey to this project’s completion. The result is a stunning testament to what’s possible when specialty architectural and design-build firms team up. Consider reaching out to Sunspace Design whether you’re a fellow industry professional with a need for custom glass design expertise, or a residential homeowner looking to revolutionize your home with the beauty of natural sunlight.
