City of Chicago lots are SMALL - this homeowner decided to maximize space and light with a custom room tying his garage to his home. In the process, they added space for a sunlight filled structure incorporating a mudroom, sunroom, potting shed and hallway. A custom addition to a new home.

This cozy sun room is host to an eclectic mix. Dried fern botanicals matted in cream with simple frames adorn the ivory walls. Woven wood blinds add texture and warmth. Below the framed art are two chairs covered in a tan and aqua blue striped fabric with watery blue velvet as welt. A Visual Comfort floor lamp and aqua blue garden seat sit between the two chairs. Next to the antique ebony stained chest is a wicker sofa whose wheat colored chenille cushions and graphic floral pillows offer a soft touch. Sitting atop a sisal rug is a tufted ottoman covered in a cheetah patterned velvet with dark walnut legs.

Being registered in Heritage Victoria and nestled in Heritage area overlooking the St Vincent Park, this large extension was a real challenge. Both clients were busy professional with 4 kids that needed communal and private quiet spaces. The front of the house was restored to its original character with the front rooms converted for a music and library in one space and a retreat for the parents in the other. The extension took place going down to the communal open spaces of the living and kitchen area space. This allowed rooms for the kids upstairs. This was done in a discreet way without undermining the front character of the house. The extension having to face South , a cathedral spine over the corridor upstairs was allowed to filter light and through the floor as well to penetrate into the communal areas. The latter is embedded in a green garden facing a pavilion that houses a garage, a nanny and another play area for the kids above. ​ A beautiful transparent aquarium separates the living area and the dining room.

Conservatory with Medium Hardwood Flooring and a Skylight Ideas and Designs

A conservatory, garden room or orangery is a decidedly British and Irish home extension: a room that allows us to enjoy our outdoor space without having to brave the unpredictable weather. Originally a type of glass house or greenhouse where plants could be grown in sheltered conditions, the modern conservatory now offers flexible entertainment space. Your conservatory can serve as an additional living area, a garden room, a spacious dining room or an open-plan kitchen; all flooded with the extra light that a glass extension will give you.

What conservatory style should I choose?

A lean to conservatory is the most straight-forward garden room structure with a slanted roof that appears to lean on the original house wall. If you’re looking for a small conservatory then the simple rectangular design of lean to conservatories makes them ideal for bungalows and properties with small gardens. The Victorian conservatory is the most common style, with an elegant shape which features a rounded end wall. An Edwardian conservatory is built similarly, but with a rectangular shape that is perhaps more space-efficient. L or P-shaped conservatories combine the styles of both Victorian and Edwardian garden rooms, and offer a versatile space that can be split into separate areas. Contemporary garden rooms with large glass walls are fantastic additions to modern homes or extensions and can create stunning exteriors. However, designs like these do use a lot of space and could require special planning permission. If you don’t have space for a large, contemporary garden room and you aren’t a fan of the uPVC conservatory, orangeries or sunrooms may appeal more; the structure is sympathetically designed to appear consistent with the style of the house.

What is an orangery?

They are both glass-walled and -roofed structures, but what is the difference between a conservatory and an orangery? The traditional orangery has a longer history ‐ it became popular in the 17th Century when homeowners wanted a place to grow citrus plants (e.g. orange trees, hence ‘orangery’) and so built structures, either stand alone or incorporated into their homes, with glass walls and roofs, similar to greenhouses. The conservatory is actually believed to have developed from the orangery after the fashion for growing citrus plants died down. However, homeowners still wanted a place to grow other tropical, herb or shrub plants that would allow sun and warmth into the house in summer and allow the plants to survive in winter. Today, the real difference is in the construction. Orangeries are considered traditional extensions with masonry walls and more standard Victorian structures, whereas modern conservatories can be more varied and made of a range of materials, including timber, uPVC or aluminium.

What type of conservatory furniture do I need?

Chances are your conservatory furniture will see a high amount of direct sunlight. Keep this in mind when choosing pieces, since some fabrics and materials can quickly fade or become uncomfortably hot. Outdoor furniture will generally stand up well to the heat and light exposure of sunrooms and orangeries, but don’t be afraid to mix and match with indoor pieces as well. Wicker, seagrass and rattan furniture items are good options, while you might want to steer away from metal and leather pieces which will get hot in the sunlight. Installing conservatory blinds or shades that can be drawn when the room isn't in use is a smart way to prolong the life of your sunroom furniture when the space is not in use.
