Planning permission was sought for a contemporary glass extension. Replacing the existing PVC conservatory on a Grade II listed Georgian house in the South Hams.
The team at van Ellen + Sheryn Architects, designed the homeowners a more purposeful, multi-functional extension, to replace the existing dated conservatory. They were looking for a room which they could use year round. Somewhere where they could enjoy their garden and the far reaching countryside views, no matter the weather.
Slim sliding doors were chosen for the glass extension, as the homeowners/architect were looking to create a clean and contemporary design, which complemented the existing Georgian house. The sliding doors are ultra slim with sight-lines of just 20 mm throughout the visible part of the system.
The garden room features glass on 3 sides, 4500 x 7800 x 4500 mm. 3 full height (2500 mm high) fixed panels on the side towards the front of the property. A 90 degree glass corner, then connects to a triple track, with 2 opening elements and two fixed. The third side consists of 3 opening elements. Connected again as a 90 degree glass corner. However this corner opens, which allows that part of the room to be completely opened up, when the doors are open.
The tracks are flush with the floor, and the drainage completely integrated. As a result a seamless connection to the outside.
The doors feature high security locking and are operated by a wall switch, which can be integrated with smart home technology. Allowing the doors to be opened and closed with minimal effort.
Solar control glass was chosen to ensure the room could be used year round. Offering solar protection in warmer months and thermal insulation when it is colder.
