News About Some of Our Projects

For many years now, an orangery has been the extension of choice for discerning property owners wishing to add some luxurious additional space to their homes.

These contemporary orangeries are often designed to create space to accommodate a larger kitchen extension, act as a living room or dining room, or a combination of all of these functions, as an open plan, family living space.

If you own a listed building and you’re thinking of extending it, here’s some inspiration to get you started, in the form of 5 of our favourite orangeries and conservatories that we have successfully designed and installed, having gained the necessary consents.

A roof lantern is perhaps the single most typical feature of an orangery, with its size, proportion and flow of light vital to the overall success of the design.

To provide the simplest description, a roof lantern is an architectural feature designed to allow natural light into the space below. Originally conceived in the Middle Ages, they were principally used in cathedrals initially before they started to be used in the first orangeries, designed in 16th century France and Italy.

David Salisbury is proud to be partnering with the award-winning Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate, the luxury resort near St Ives in Cornwall which has been chosen to host this year’s G7 Summit, as part of the latest phase of their refurbishment and investment programme.

Our extensive experience in successfully designing and installing premium quality orangeries for exclusive hotels, wedding venues and restaurants, made the choice a natural one.

One of the many benefits of adding an orangery or conservatory, or a similar type of glazed extension to your home, is the opening up of the views of your surrounding environment. Whilst adding natural light to a property with low light levels or increasing living space are equally important considerations, being able to take in the view from the comfort of home is an almost universal request.

As we have been fortunate enough to work on some exceptional homes nationwide, we feel well-placed to round up a selection of some of our favourite orangery projects with outstanding views.
