Barnack Conservatory
1 / 3
This conservatory has a roof formed with a Vitral patent glazing system which has been fitted over the top of the oak rafters. Vitral is one among several high performance yet affordable glazing systems on the market. Two of the lights are openers and hinge from the top of the panel. Note the use of Lindab galvanised steel guttering, so much nicer than plastic! (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
The frame has been sand blasted which gives an appealing pale straw colour, and also softens the sawn surfaces of the timber by picking out the softer spring growth, giving a slight ‘driftwood’ effect. (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
A conservatory does much to grace any home, as seen here in this long view through from the kitchen. Well designed they can make an affordable and beautiful addition to the home. (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
“"Just to say that it looks fabulous, and all who survey it are wonder-struck. Best wishes and many thanks to you all."
Simon, National Trust
“"Seems a long time since we finished with the garden room project but we have to say that it has been a huge success in every aspect. The room has become the place of choice for visitors. I can guarantee that everyone, yes everyone who visits, is blown away by the frame."
Mel, Moat Farm
“"We wanted to write to you to express our profound gratitude for the excellent work you have done on our building scheme. It cannot have been easy to pick up the project from another architect when there were still a number of issues unresolved, but you have done so brilliantly and remained calm throughout, even at fraught times. We really do appreciate that you have gone the extra mile for us. We have all enjoyed working with you and have been so impressed with the quality of your work."
Alastair, The Early Years Project
“"Thank you for the frame that you have just finished at Rogate. It was a miserable wet day, yesterday and John and team carried on regardless. We are delighted with the overall look and also the mouldings to the members. As usual, the frame was millimetre accurate and will be easy to take forward to complete the building."
Bob, Trembath Associates
“"Just a quick note to say thank you for sending such a great team to do the work. As well as clearly being very hardworking and hugely skilled, Mick, Andy, Clark and Dave were all exceptionally pleasant, considerate and cheerful guys to have around, and as such a huge credit to Green Oak."
Julia, Crabfields Farm
