Hybrid LIVin Room Orangery

Location: West Moors, Dorset

Project Description

The client desired an extension to their home that would serve as a versatile space for everyday living. They wanted somewhere they could enjoy natural light, the beauty of the outdoors, and a comfortable area to relax or entertain guests. When it came to supply and installation, they chose the team at Richard Thomas Conservatories for our expertise in creating innovative, stylish, and high quality orangeries.

After careful consideration, the client and our team at Richard Thomas Conservatories decided on a Hybrid Orangery LIVin Room, combining the elegant features of a traditional orangery with the modern functionality of a living room extension. A key consideration for this project is the need for the new space to be multifunctional, providing a bright and airy atmosphere, while blending seamlessly with the existing architecture of the home.

Design Features

We at Richard Thomas Conservatories utilised our Hybrid Orangery to create a balance of both classic and modern styles. The LIVin Room Orangery was designed with these key features:

  1. Bespoke Design – A custom-designed structure, incorporating traditional orangery elements like elegant columns and a lantern roof, with modern, high performance glazing for optimal natural light and temperature control.
  2. Hybrid Construction – The structure utilises a combination of materials to ensure strength, durability, and thermal efficiency.
  3. Seamless Integration – The orangery was designed to integrate smoothly with the existing home, using complementary finishes and colours that tied in with the original features of the house. The extension also provided improved access to the garden, with the addition of sliding patio doors to blend the indoors with the outdoor space.
  4. Energy Efficiency – The hybrid construction also focused on thermal efficiency, with advanced glazing and insulation, ensuring that the room remains comfortable year-round, regardless of external weather conditions.
  5. A Multi-functional Living Space – The space was designed to serve multiple purposes as a living room for daily relaxation, a dining area, and an entertainment space for guests. The natural light and open, airy feel make it ideal for family gatherings, quiet afternoons, or evening get-togethers.

The Results

The team at Richard Thomas Conservatories ended up creating a space that exceeded the client’s expectations. The combination of traditional orangery elements with cutting-edge hybrid construction materials resulted in a stunning living area that provides comfort, style, and durability.

By using advanced glazing techniques and insulation methods, the new living space remains energy efficient and comfortable throughout the year. The room now serves as a light-filled, versatile extension of the home, blending perfectly with the client’s lifestyle and offering a bright, welcoming atmosphere for every occasion.
