Wintergarden Conservatory Victorian-era

— 5 —Wintergarden

A SUPERB RENDITION of the iconic Victorian-era conservatory, the design of this fully functional greenhouse is based upon the renowned Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The owners became enamored of the historic structure and wanted to recreate a conservatory that would be true to its historic heritage.

TANGLEWOOD’S COMMITMENT TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS IS EVIDENT IN THE CURVED GLASS ROOF OF THIS CLASSIC GREENHOUSE. A CENTURY-OLD TECHNIQUE OF OVERLAPPING SMALL PANES OF GLASS CREATED THE ELEGANT EFFECT.

They gave the design team clear direction. The authenticity and detailing of the new conservatory was paramount, and yet it must function as a complete working greenhouse. The owner, an ardent gardener, would spend many, many hours inside the room.

For Tanglewood, no more captivating challenge could have been presented. A true partnership with the client allowed for the design to evolve until everyone was satisfied. We think the result speaks for itself.
