Sun
Lounge Style
The
Sun Lounge style often described as a ‘Lean-To’
was the first glazed home extension built as much
as a green house as extra living space from the
1960’s onward at a very affordable price usually
in timber or horticultural aluminium.
A
style that in its simplest form is not as popular
today as tastes have changed and conservatories
have improved in choice, however it still offers
a very cost effective solution.
Worth
considering in a modern contemporary design format
using bi-folding doors and different roof configurations
such as hips & facets this type of building
has come back into vogue in the guise of minimalist
architecturally styled glazed extensions. |

A
Victorian style conservatory

Victorian
Style Conservatory (3 Facet)
The
lines of this conservatory are immediately softened
by introducing angled facets to the corners making
it much more interesting to the eye and a nod to
a more traditional appearance.
The
trade off of course for this feature that must be
borne in mind is the loss of useable floor area
which is the compromise. For this reason it lends
itself to a larger footprint and it is therefore
not recommended that this style be less than 3.6m
x 3.6m in size.
One
way to have the angled feature without too much
loss of floor area is to ‘stretch’ the
centre section to 3 or 4 panels.
Although
a brick base wall is most peoples preference a contemporary
twist is to go ‘glass to ground’ as
seen in the image above. |

Victorian
Style Conservatory (5 Facet)
If curves are your style, then this multi-faceted
design gives a unique look with virtually no limit
to the number of sides that can be incorporated
forming a virtual semi-circle.
The
geometry permits much larger spans of up to 6m wide
unsupported.

An
Edwardian style conservatory |
Edwardian
style conservatory
This
style of conservatory has proved to be the most
practical solution offering the maximum floor space
combined with a traditional roof layout to create
that ‘lofty’ sense of openness which
is so appealing.
Positioning
the doors to the side is always preferable as in
most cases this links perfectly to a dedicated patio
area without having to take away more garden in
front of the building reducing the need for additional
landscaping. It also provides the benefit of allowing
more options for positioning furniture not having
to clear a pathway to the doors.
This
design delivers the best return for the money spent
in terms of extra living space. |
Example

Gable
Front
This
simple heritage style was the original design seen
from the 1800’s onward to display plant collections.
The
gable front offers the opportunity to individualise
the design with unlimited permutations of form from
very traditional to clean & contemporary for
a modern lifestyle. |

P, T and L-shaped Conservatories
Gain
two rooms for one with a 'P', 'T' or 'L'-shaped
conservatory!
Usually designed to span between
7m to 12m wide with a minimum projection of 2.5m
increasing up to 5m this creates two clearly defined
living spaces such as sitting room plus breakfast
room making it very versatile able to change its
use with family needs over time.
This type of conservatory can transform
the character of a building being a large architectural
form so the shape often reflects the styling of
the property it is attached to. |
Example

Hipped
Back
A
design solution typically used on bungalows or chalet
type property employing a box gutter assembly to
overcome the low roof line, as the conservatory
roof is configured in such a way that it effectively
creates a ‘freestanding’ unsupported
single span structure.
This style of conservatory therefore
lends itself to larger projects such as swimming
pool covers or leisure buildings which with the
addition of a structural portal frame can be used
for commercial scale projects.
As in this image sometimes it is
just about enjoying the impressive vaulted glass
roof formed by this type of construction rather
than any technical requirements of the property. |

An Orangery style conservatory

Orangery
Style
This
latest innovation has been designed to create the
appearance of a traditionally built Orangery internally,
but using a conventional conservatory roof construction
externally.
This
solution offers the Orangery style at significantly
less cost than a full blown Orangery extension with
its traditional building methods.
It
may be cheating but it looks great!
