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
“"Thanks for the excellent job which has just been completed on the Oak Frame extension to the above property. Not only is the quality of the work faultless, it is a true work of art, which will bring endless enjoyment to me and my wife. The end result has surpassed our wildest expectations."
Ray Nicolaides
“"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
“"Everyone is very impressed with the finished result and I thought I would just take the opportunity of belatedly giving my thanks to you and your team for a job very well done. I have submitted the bridge for a Civic Society award for next year and have every expectation of its success."
P White, Northholt & Greenford Countryside Park Manager
“"I wanted to drop you a quick note to show my appreciation for your guys efforts today; they were a pleasure to have around the house and worked hard to get the frame up today."
Paul, Contracts Manager
