Die Infusionstraße der Praxis soll dem Patienten die Möglichkeit der Entspannung geben. Abschalten, nicht das Gefühl zu haben beim Arzt zu sein, die Sicherheit zu spüren: Ich tue mir heute etwas Gutes. Die echte Mooswand zwischen den Fensterflächen schafft ein optimales Raumklilma, die Leuchtdecke gibt dem Patienten das Gefühl in der Natur zu sitzen. Wir legten Wert auf qualitativ hochwertige Materialien um die Natur dem Patienten ins Behandlungszimmer zu holen

In this stunning Rochester, NY home, Cutri built a two-story addition to include an exercise room, library, studio, and an atrium…with a Koi pond. This remarkable 24,500 gallon Koi pond is shown in the new 1,345 sq. ft. atrium. The overall size of the pond is 14’ 6” by 20’ 6”. Flush with the atrium floor, the tank is 11 feet deep, stretching into the new 486 sq. ft. exercise room below, complete with a large, 1-inch thick window view of the aquarium.

Dieser beeindrucke Wintergarten im viktorianischen Stil mit angeschlossenem Sommergarten wurde als Wohnraumerweiterung konzipiert und umgesetzt. Er sollte das Haus elegant zum großen Garten hin öffnen. Dies ist auch vor allem durch den Sommergarten gelungen, dessen schiebbaren Ganzglaselemente eine fast komplette Öffnung erlauben. Der Clou bei diesem Wintergarten ist der Kontrast zwischen klassischer Außenansicht und einem topmodernen Interieur-Design, das in einem edlen Weiß gehalten wurde. So lässt sich ganzjährig der Garten in vollen Zügen genießen, besonders auch abends dank stimmungsvollen Dreamlights in der Dachkonstruktion. Gerne verwirklichen wir auch Ihren Traum von einem viktorianischen Wintergarten. Mehr Infos dazu finden Sie auf unserer Webseite www.krenzer.de. Sie können uns gerne telefonisch unter der 0049 6681 96360 oder via E-Mail an mail@krenzer.de erreichen. Wir würden uns freuen, von Ihnen zu hören. Auf unserer Webseite (www.krenzer.de) können Sie sich auch gerne einen kostenlosen Katalog bestellen.

Large Contemporary Conservatory 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 contemporary 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.
