As a RIBA chartered practice, Pitchford Design Associates has many years’ experience of designing bespoke orangeries and garden rooms for private clients.  We were therefore pleased to be appointed to provide architectural services to design a bespoke timber orangery using Accoya wood and traditional materials to provide a substantial extension reflecting the architecture of this former Victorian rectory near Ripon.

The main house is built of brick with a slate tiled roof and stone window surrounds and the client brief was to design the orangery in a style which would reflect this classic architectural style.  The final design incorporated traditional glazing and joinery details including leaded lights and the proportions of the glazed roof of the orangery echo the form and shape of the rectory roof.  Contemporary features were also included in the design such as bi-folding doors which open onto the terrace leading to the steps which sweep down to the main garden. Underfloor heating and a log burner were also included to ensure the new space would be used as much in summer as in winter.

Part of the architectural design approach was to ensure that this extension to the main house would sit comfortably within its setting, creating a unity between the landscaped gardens and the character of the house to ensure a flow of movement within and between the two.

We worked closely with the local planning department to gain planning approval and the design and building regulations package included details of wall lighting, heating, electrics, flooring and bespoke and decorative features.

The completed orangery creates a generous extension in keeping with the proportions of the main house in a timeless traditional design. Linking to the kitchen to form an open plan living kitchen dining space over looking the gardens, this is a room which can be used comfortably all year round.
