David Salisbury will take into
account the reality of your day to day living. Practical
requirements need to be met just as much as the aesthetic essentials
of achieving a balanced and elegant design. Perhaps a fabulous new
dining or entertaining space is your aim. You might ask us to open
up a room you already have, to expand it into your David Salisbury
conservatory or
orangery and create an open-plan family space. In
particular kitchens lend themselves to be developed into glazed
orangery extensions.
The stunning light-filled orangery shown right provides a contemporary addition to this family home, combing a kitchen, lounge and dining area, creating a useable family-friendly space. The gothic bar detailing on the windows matches the existing windows of the property, providing a well-blended addition.
The glass used on this particular project was clear solar control combined with lowE, argon filled sealed units which have been included in the design to help ensure considerably lower temperatures in the summer months and high insulation in the winter. Azure solar control glass has also been used to reduce glare.
The customers who commissioned this orangery in Newbury (left) aimed
to achieve a free-flowing living and dining area to adjoin the
kitchen, providing a spacious, open plan feel to the ground
floor.
The result is extremely successful and illustrates how a modern
house can be enhanced by an elegant timber structure that draws
reference from classic Georgian detailing.
The photo to the right features a kitchen that we created for a family living in a garden flat in Blackheath. This professional couple approached us when they were expecting a baby; they wanted to extend their flat rather than move from an area of London they had come to love. This modestly sized orangery has transformed their living space – and the small room that housed their original kitchen is now the nursery. “Your team was so considerate of us having a small baby in the flat throughout the installation. They were respectful, understanding and kept the place tidy at all times”. Click here for more testimonials.
The photo to the left features a gabled kitchen extension to a Victorian terraced house in London. Located in an exclusive West London street near to Bushy Park and Hampton Court, this private residence was transformed through the addition of a new conservatory-style kitchen, dining and living room. It illustrates well how even just a small extension can transform a property. The new addition added all-important light and a greater illusion of space.
The symmetrical twin gabled composition is pleasing to
the eye and acts as the axis point around which family life now
revolves. Our customer said “As well as providing an excellent
product David Salisbury’s service was exemplary and they worked
closely with us as the Architect at every stage of the project
to achieve the best design solution and the highest quality for
our client.”. More information on this project can be found
