— 15 —Riverfront Conservatory
THIS GRAND CONSERVATORY, located on a riverfront estate, engages effortlessly with the original structure, which dates from the early 1800s. The standing-seam copper roof supports an octagonal glass cupola that washes the room with daylight. Custom-designed eave brackets are reinterpretations from those of the main house.
An immense room, the conservatory appears appropriate in scale because of the way its size is broken into smaller elements while respecting the scale of the whole. On the interior, the room was divided into a foyer and a main living space with the two areas separated by interior columns and a change in the roof/ceiling. The complex geometry of the roof helps relieve the room’s boxy shape.
THE TRADITION OF OPENING ONE’S CONSERVATORY FOR INFORMAL PUBLIC TOURS TOOK ROOT IN THE 1800S. WHILE NOT SUGGESTING YOU TAKE UP THIS CUSTOM, WE AT TANGLEWOOD BELIEVE A CONSERVATORY WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE.
The foundation was already in place prior to the start of the design work and the owners were concerned that this would limit Tanglewood’s creative ability. To reinforce the indoor/outdoor character of the room, a matching gazebo was designed and built for the opposite bank.
