Western Window Systems
Praised for its visually appealing, modern yet comfortable design, this Scottsdale residence took home the gold in the 2014 Design Awards from Professional Builder magazine. Built by Calvis Wyant Luxury Homes, the 5,877-square-foot residence features an open floor plan that includes Western Window Systems’ multi-slide pocket doors to allow for optimal inside-to-outside flow. Tropical influences such as covered patios, a pool, and reflecting ponds give the home a lush, resort-style feel.
David Salisbury
This bespoke orangery has created the ideal link between this Tudor style property in Berkshire and the stunning surrounding gardens.
Expertly designed by Eddie Spillane, one of David Salisbury’s most experienced designers, this project was typical of the many benefits that an orangery or garden room can bring to a new home extension.
Extending off from the existing kitchen, a spacious, luxury living room has been created, adding natural light into this period home.
The existing house featured a patio from where the owners enjoyed sitting and enjoying the views of their garden, when the weather allowed.
Although a perimeter hedge offered some protection from the elements, it obscured some of the views.
The new orangery was designed to ensure this space can be enjoyed all year round, whilst the removal of the hedges enhanced these views of these amazing grounds. The ‘before and after’ photos shown below perhaps best illustrate this transformation.
Measuring approximately 7.1m by 6.4 m, this generously proportioned orangery provided space within each of the three elevations for three sets of French doors, which can be easily opened to provide convenient access to the patio and garden.
Cruciform bar fenestration on the windows and doors offers a nice design detail, whilst retaining a degree of simplicity.
For the painted timber joinery, the subtle off white shade of Eagle Sight was chosen from our own unique colour palette, which continues to feature in our Top 10 colours for orangeries.
In order to provide a lovely uniform temperature during the colder months, wet underfloor heating was specified, which also avoids the need for cumbersome radiators.
Finally, immediately outside the orangery, curved steps and a new path helps to soften the impact of the raised patio area.
The new orangery has created space for a collection of contemporary furniture, including a pair of sofas and a small table and chairs to enjoy breakfast or an informal meal.
With the daffodils in full bloom, we could not have chosen a more picturesque day to photograph this bespoke orangery.
Whatever the weather brings, a David Salisbury orangery is designed to be enjoyed all year round – to become the favourite room at home.

Optimum weather protection
By adding vertical, sliding glass elements our glass canopy is transformed into a glass house with side protection against wind and rain. A glass house can be attached to an existing building or be constructed as a standalone structure; you then have the option to protect yourself from the bad weather or on a nice day, open up your patio/terrace to the elements to enjoy the open air.
