The Stables Conservatory

This was a Detailed Design drawings commission only, as planning had already been achieved and it was the client’s wish to integrate the architectural design with the oak frame in order to produce the best results. We think the results speak for themselves. Care has been taken to ensure the new conservatory does not feel out of proportion with the original building, adding rather than detracting from the whole. We prepared this drawing to fine tune the details and ensure all was as it should be.

This small extension conservatory style extension forms a dining and sitting room area adjacent to the kitchen. Note the concealed lighting in the trusses and uplighters in the floor.

Large sliding folding doors in the central bay open out to allow enjoyment of the garden when the weather allows.

Although newly established, good landscaping completes the picture and adds greatly to the amenity of the new conservatory extension.

Glazing a building can be expensive but worth the expenditure to achieve results like this. Black Pig Frame Glazing were employed at The Stables to complete the glazing and are, without doubt the Rolls Royce of frame glazing companies.

Cappings are from quarter or rift sawn well air dried oak, also note here that two sections have been used for both the main posts and tie beam cladding, both to ensure stability and performance of the system. Note the Copper flashings used here to weather the cappings on horizontal surfaces.

Lighting a frame well takes care and forethought, especially as cable runs must be planned to ensure they remain discreet. We are happy to cut grooves for these at the time we make the frame, hence planning this work should form part of the detailed design prior to getting into the building works.

Altogether a successful outcome for the client, and a great addition to their home.
