Contemporary Conservatory Extension to Grade II Listed Building in Bath
This Grade 2 listed Georgian house is transformed by the addition of a minimally framed contemporary conservatory, extending the use of the dining room and connecting the house to the beautifully planted city garden. A frameless glass roof, supported on glass beams, gives an uninterrupted view of the sky and sliding folding doors allow the “wall” between the house and garden to disappear.
