RAISE THE ROOF
An orangery extension creates a lovely link between the house and the garden. In this one, designed
by Westbury Garden Rooms, traditional sash windows and glazed double doors frame views of the
borders, beds and countryside beyond on three sides. Using natural materials and earthy hues on
the walls and floors is another way to draw attention to the colours outside. While a generous roof
lantern will flood the room with natural light by day, be sure to carefully consider how best to
illuminate at night early in the design stages. A modern pendant light hung from the apex of the
roof lantern can introduce another textural element.¤
