Keeping close to his original scheme, the conservatory design was sensitively adjusted paying close attention to the details, the proportions and the functionality of the new construction. Since the new glass conservatory was not connected to the main house, exact details were not directly incorporated but their architectural relationship was closely scrutinized. Inside, the decor conveys a casual elegance with simple white cotton-draped furnishings, patterned pillows, and an old Country French coffee table. A reading table with primitive-looking chairs made from bent tree limbs was included in the collection.

The room, which is frequently used by its owners and their many guests, is hailed as the most inviting on the property.

ON A LATE SUMMER’S AFTERNOON, THIS COMFORTABLE POOLSIDE CONSERVATORY BECKONS GUESTS WITH THE PROMISE OF A REFRESHING DIP, AN ICED DRINK AND A MAGNIFICENT SUNSET. WHEN IT RAINS, IT BECOMES A QUIET AND INTROSPECTIVE RETREAT.
