This light and airy timber-framed hexagonal orangery extension is an excellent addition for a smaller space. The combination of white-painted frames with part-painted and part-bare brick dwarf walls allows the structure to blend seamlessly with the house, complementing its aesthetic.
A Stylish and Practical Design
The hexagonal shape of this orangery is a standout feature, adding character without overwhelming the property. The customer opted for windows on two sides and a full-height wall on one side, providing privacy from neighbours. Reducing the amount of glass helped keep the project within budget without compromising style.
The double French doors open onto the patio, creating a smooth transition to the garden. The front-facing windows maximise the hexagonal shape, offering a stunning three-window feature that brings in natural light from multiple angles.
A Bright and Inviting Interior
Inside, the hexagonal feature window provides a mini panoramic view of the garden, making the space feel open and connected to the outdoors. The light interior frames paired with soft sage green walls create a modern yet countryside-inspired atmosphere.
To ensure year-round comfort, radiator heating was installed. Opening the double French doors allows fresh air to flow through the room, enhancing the connection with nature.
Seamless Connection to the Main House
The orangery links to the main house via oak-framed glass double doors. These doors fold back flat against the fixed oak and glass panels, providing an open-plan feel when desired. Even when closed, they allow natural light to flow through, brightening the adjoining space.
An Elegant Roof and Lighting Design
The hexagonal shape extends to the apex glass roof, adding height and enhancing the sense of space. Full glass coverage ensures a bright and airy environment.
For evening ambience, spotlights in the pelmets around the roof edge, combined with directional lighting, create a warm and inviting glow as the sun sets.
This hexagonal orangery extension is a perfect blend of style, practicality, and comfort, offering a light-filled retreat that enhances the home and garden connection.
