Working with Historic Buildings

Sometimes working with historic buildings is a puzzle, rarely though is the building itself literally a jigsaw puzzle.

An orangery had stood at this property in the West Country since the Victorian times, however a failed restoration in the 1960s saw the domed timber and glass structure collapse during heavy rain in the mid 1990s. We undertook a feasibility study for a potential purchaser to reinstate the collapsed building using the salvaged timbers.
