Choose a starting point.

These are families of structures, rather than fixed models. Dimensions, openings and detailing are drawn for each commission.

  1. Bespoke glasshouses

    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.

  2. Victorian-style orangeries

    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.

  3. Garden rooms

    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.

  4. Restoration & conservation

    Work begins with the existing structure: its condition, surviving details and what can sensibly be retained. Repairs and replacement components follow that assessment.

The frame sets the character.

Material choice affects profile, finish and future care. We discuss both the appearance you want and the maintenance you are comfortable taking on.

Hand-built timber

Timber brings visible joinery and a traditional painted finish. Its proportions can respond closely to period references and surviving architectural details.

  • Individual sizes and glazing-bar layouts
  • Paint colours considered against the house and planting
  • Access for inspection, care and future redecoration

Powder-coated aluminium

Aluminium offers a different approach to slender framing and coated surfaces. Profiles, junctions and colour are considered as a complete design.

  • Finish selection before fabrication
  • Openings and glazing coordinated with frame profiles
  • Cast iron and period details considered where appropriate

How the price takes shape.

There is no standard-size price list. An individual quotation needs a defined structure, a material direction and an understanding of the site.

New-build commission

Quoted to the agreed scope

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.

Existing structure

Assessed before pricing

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.

A few useful distinctions.

Can a glasshouse also be a sitting room?

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.

Can you match an older structure?

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.

Do I have to choose the material now?

No. A preferred appearance, intended use and approximate footprint are enough to start comparing timber and aluminium for your site.

Tell us what belongs in your garden.

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.
