Case studies
Text comparisons from recent Bath projects. Names are generalised; layout lessons stay specific. Fees sat within published GBP consultation and package ranges.
Widcombe garden room, south-facing
Narrow glass room overheated by noon. Seating faced the brightest panes; no roof-blind brief for the installer; plant pots blocked the garden door swing.
Adjusted layout and shade notes
Seating shifted to the east wall; roof blind schedule written for the client’s fitter; plant tray run softened the stone boundary without blocking the door. Room stayed in daily use through July.
Lansdown lean-to dining bay
Glazed dining bay off a stone kitchen with a wide table for six. Chairs scraped glass; serving from the cooker meant shuffling seats every meal.
Narrower table and wall bench
Narrower table with a bench on the solid wall side kept serving clear from the cooker and stopped chairs from hitting the glazing.
Bathwick plant conservatory
Owners wanted citrus and ferns more than lounge furniture, but leftover chairs filled the bright shelves and trays sat on bare timber without a washable edge.
Plant-first zoning
Bright shelves along the south panes; single reading chair in the cooler corner; trays and a washable runner protected the floor edge.
Bear Flat evening room
West-facing conservatory worked for summer evenings but felt bleak after dark in winter — one overhead light, no rug boundary, thin textiles.
Layered evening use
Layered textiles, a focused lamp, and a rug boundary made a usable reading spot after dark without pretending the room matched the solid lounge.
Shared method
Each project began with orientation and threshold measurements, then furniture and plants. Decorative extras came last.
