Growing space, garden retreat or a room for gathering: we begin with what you want the building to do, then work through its proportions and materials.
These are families of structures, rather than fixed models. Dimensions, openings and detailing are drawn for each commission.
Light-filled structures for growing and tending plants. Bench space, circulation, ventilation and the position of doors belong in the first drawing, alongside the silhouette.
A more substantial architectural presence, drawing on the rhythm of traditional uprights and glazed roofs. We consider the balance of glass, solid elements and garden views together.
Rooms for sitting, working or spending time among the planting. Intended seasonal use guides decisions about glazing, enclosure and any services that need separate coordination.
Work begins with the existing structure: its condition, surviving details and what can sensibly be retained. Repairs and replacement components follow that assessment.
Material choice affects profile, finish and future care. We discuss both the appearance you want and the maintenance you are comfortable taking on.
Timber brings visible joinery and a traditional painted finish. Its proportions can respond closely to period references and surviving architectural details.
Aluminium offers a different approach to slender framing and coated surfaces. Profiles, junctions and colour are considered as a complete design.
There is no standard-size price list. An individual quotation needs a defined structure, a material direction and an understanding of the site.
Size, frame material, glazing, opening arrangements and decorative work all affect the cost. Access and installation conditions matter too.
We clarify responsibility for foundations, services and associated site work so you can consider the whole project budget.
Repair costs depend on what survives and what needs replacement. Photographs help begin the discussion; closer inspection establishes the practical scope.
Conservation requirements and any uncertainty about concealed condition should be addressed before the work is agreed.
It can include space to sit, but growing conditions and everyday comfort are different briefs. Tell us which use comes first so ventilation, shading and layout can be considered accordingly.
Surviving components, photographs and drawings can guide the design. We review which profiles and details can be retained or reproduced as part of the assessment.
No. A preferred appearance, intended use and approximate footprint are enough to start comparing timber and aluminium for your site.
A rough footprint and a description of how you hope to use the space give us something useful to work with.
For restoration, start with the age and condition of the structure, if known. We can discuss photographs and further inspection from there.
