The transformation
From an old lean-to to the heart of the home.
For this Wix home, the aim was a generous new space that feels connected to both the kitchen and the garden.
We removed the existing lean-to conservatory and built a large flat roof orangery with insulated hup! walls. Two roof lanterns bring natural light deep into the room, while the five-panel aluminium bifold doors open the living area towards the garden.
The rendered exterior gives the addition a clean finish.
Inside, the new layout creates an open-plan kitchen and dining area with room to gather, cook and entertain.
