Perched high above the surrounding countryside and
with fantastic views of the English Channel beyond,
this Garden Room Conservatory has recently been completed
by Richmond Oak for a client in Devon.
Great thought went into ensuring that this conservatory
would complement the open space where it is built.
Large panes of glass were used to provide unobscured
views of the local scenery. The glazing is set in
folding doors that on warm sunny days can be folded
back to give a feeling of even greater spaciousness.
To ensure that ships, fishing boats and other sea-craft
can be viewed as they sail by, a glass-fronted balcony
has been fitted at the front of the conservatory,
while one side leads directly to the garden.
The high oak-beamed roof and use of white paint
on the ceiling also add to the spaciousness that
makes this conservatory such a wonderful place to
spend time in and the owners have furnished the space
using light colours and ensured it remains uncluttered.
Although the conservatory
is a modern design, the oak beams and the rest
of the oak construction
make it fit harmoniously with the existing property.
It is a unique design and yet another example of
Richmond Oak’s bespoke approach to conservatory
design and construction

Only Richmond Oak can offer you an individually
designed hardwood conservatory or orangery built
from naturally seasoned oak. It’s a fantastic
timber to build conservatories in; strong and one
of the most beautiful building materials known to
man and the traditional hardwood of British builders
and architects for centuries.
Every Richmond Oak hardwood conservatory,
orangery, garden room and sunroom is designed for
you alone. It will reflect your ideas and aspirations
and the
conservatory will complement your property and existing
architecture.
This months featured installation is actually actually
an Orangery built using White painted hardwood frames
and added to a listed building in Suffolk. This is
a truely beautiful additional living room for the
delighted owners.
The Orangery featured a Hardwood ‘k’ glass
double glazed roof lantern with a code 5 – 6
lead stepped deck around its perimeter. Drainage
outlets were built to the lowest decks with stainless
steel cages over to protect from leaf blockages.
A Steel portal frame was built into the structure
to carry the weight of the roof and decking. 12 microspot
lighting system built into the ceiling along with
chandeliers, all working off dimmer switches for
a variety of lighting effects.
Plaster finish inside render externally.

This months featured
installation is actually a "work
in progress" and shows a most unusual conservatory
built on a large London Town House overlooking the
Thames. The photos show one of the UK's more unusual
conservatory installations and is a fine example
of the creativity of the Installation Company in
actually completing an installation on a very difficult
site.
This conservatory
was added to a floor town house. It is situated
on the bank
of the river Thames opposite
the O2, AKA The Dome. It is next door but 1 to Lady
Hamiltons former house (Nelsons' mistress). It is
1 of only 28 Houses actually on the bank of the Thames
between the black wall tunnel and Tower Bridge. The
house value is estimated at £3.7 million pounds.
The area is called Cold Harbour in London E14. The
area is a designated Conservation area.
We
had to remove the existing roof and replace it
with an 8.5m Victorian end Conservatory. The
sides were both box gutters and the glass was
bronze anti-sun. We had to reinforce the floor,
plaster
inside, electrics and ahsphalt seal externally.
The walls were timber stud and render.
