Project Overview

Discussions were undertaken at the Homebuilding and Renovation Show in Harrogate to complete the project overview for the oak orangery and farmhouse transformation near York. The clients had already completed the groundwork for the farmhouse renovation and were looking to add a main feature: an oak orangery and a full-length extension to the farmhouse.

In addition to the orangery, the project also included the construction of a kitchen/diner, utility, boot room, games room, and snug. As part of the design process, the clients visited Oak By Design’s showroom and workshop to ensure they were happy with the combination of traditional and contemporary features.

The installation process involved the Oak By Design team undertaking the design, drawings, and installation of the oak buildings, including the orangery, frames, porch, and more. Collaboration with the clients’ builder was key in achieving a seamless execution of the project.

The large oak glazed openings in the orangery brought in ample light and provided stunning garden views. The installation of the oak buildings commenced in September.

The architects involved in the project from the start were A & J Architects, with the design being done by Joanne and Tony Parascandolo.
