A traditional oak-framed veranda against a period farmhouse, with a glazed roof and heated seating area.
An early-19th-century farmhouse with a north-facing courtyard that was too cold to use for most of the year. The owners wanted to preserve the character but extend the usable season.
We designed a pegged green-oak frame with stainless-steel concealed fixings, glazed with solar-control units and tied into a new Yorkstone terrace. Recessed infrared heaters in the roof beams make the space comfortable from March.
