The converted steading had stood there for more than a hundred years, and our clients were hoping their new conservatory, nestling in the corner, would look as if it had too. But adding to the challenge was something else that had been there for years and years: their beloved wisteria. We debated design. Building larger around it. Building smaller to exclude it. Eventually he tried moving it. We waited. It grew.

And so could their conservatory. Now encasing both their kitchen and lounge doors, light floods into the interior, friends and grandchildren just seem to congregate, and they can sit happily in the middle of it all, connected to the rooms and all the activity around.
