Crafting a Dream: The Story of a Custom Residential Greenhouse

Cloistered Greenhouse

When you think of a custom residential greenhouse, what comes to mind? 

Perhaps it’s a charming conservatory perched elegantly overlooking a picturesque landscape or nestled within a secluded garden for a private retreat. But for the owners of this custom residential greenhouse, it’s much more than that. This south-facing haven isn’t just a space for admiration; it’s a sanctuary where they nurture the many specimens that will soon bring their home to life.

With a growing love for nature and beautiful architecture, the owners wanted their custom greenhouse to blend seamlessly into the design of their home as if it were part of the original design. The continuation of the stone detailing, subtle earth tones, decorative corbels, and the unusual contour of the roof, echoing the home’s lines, were all small but important details to achieving the family’s vision.

The glass cupola invites an abundance of natural light, while the lower roof is clad with copper on the outside and trimmed with mahogany beadboard on the inside, combining aesthetics and durability. Inside, bathed in natural light, hosts a nurturing haven for potting a diverse array of plants that, once blossomed, will liven the rest of their home.

Producing High-Quality Custom Greenhouses Start With The Client’s Vision and Strong Collaboration From Their Team

The design and fabrication of a conservatory or greenhouse is highly personal for our clients. It takes strong collaboration between all parties to ensure we execute their vision perfectly, and our collaboration with Architect Jim Davis is the perfect example. Together, with his initial concept and Tanglewood’s expertise in greenhouse design, we created our client’s dream greenhouse.

To me, the collaboration with Tanglewood is analogous to commissioning a sculptor for a piece of art. I lay out the design generically and then rely on their specialized expertise. Because of the talent of their staff, Tanglewood can design a conservatory that is sympathetic with my own ideas.”
