Conservatory & Sunroom

When tasked with the delicate challenge of adding a conservatory and sunroom to a cherished 1860 Exeter home, we were determined to enhance its historic charm without compromising its architectural integrity. The home, rich in history and previous modifications, required a thoughtful approach to both preserve its essence and introduce modern enhancements.

Conservatory Addition

Initial Consultation and Design:

Our collaboration with the homeowners led to a carefully crafted design that passed the rigorous approvals process, integrating a stunning conservatory and a sunlit glass-roof retreat. These additions were thoughtfully designed to complement a newly built deck that offers serene views of the garden’s secret dell.

Construction:

To support the substantial new structures, our engineers designed a durable steel frame, expertly executed by local fabricators. High-quality glass specified and installed by G James Glass ensured safety without sacrificing beauty. Throughout the project, meticulous attention was paid to renewing the home’s roof and structural elements, ensuring that the new installations blended seamlessly with the old without causing any damage to the home’s historical features.

Personalised Finishes:

A personal touch was added to the sunroom with the incorporation of stained glass and lead lite windows collected by the homeowners over the years, embedding personal history into the new space. The project culminated in a beautifully integrated extension that both respects the home’s past and embraces modern living.

The Result?

The homeowners were thrilled with the outcome—a testament to Longshaw Construction’s commitment to excellence and sensitivity to the unique stories embedded in historical homes. This project not only met but exceeded expectations, ensuring the home continues to celebrate its heritage while offering updated, functional living spaces.
