Designed in authentic English Georgian style, the classical conservatory of this English Manor
residence is a timeless piece of architecture.
residence is a timeless piece of architecture.
An artfully proportioned structure of classic, white-fluted columns and a deep entablature define
each window sash and support the lofty glass and iron roof. It attaches sympathetically to the brick “host†building, in traditional English style, and becomes a graceful, architectural feature of the tranquil English gardens that surround it, creating an aura of being transported to the English countryside.

It creates a charming, idyllic place to gather with friends for tea or to read your favorite Jane Austen novel. French doors lead from the garden into the conservatory, which is glazed in deep Wedgewood blue. On bright sunny days, the color reflects the blue of the sky; while on cloudy, misty days, the serene color creates an ethereal, romantic ambiance. The space is exquisitely elegant and edited, with raw-linen slip-covered chairs gathered around a natural-limestone table that is centered on a bare tumbled French-limestone floor.
Tall, slender silverleaf maples, in hand-glazed urns, emphasize the soaring height of the glass ceiling that floats overhead. The strong architectural lines of the ironwork define the cathedral structure, while the glass disappears. French doors open the conservatory to the main gallery that bisects the residence. An exquisite, modern-classic-style dining room is placed directly on axis across the gallery hall. The spaces interact and harmonize with each other, visually and literally flowing together, to create a cohesive composition which is sublimely elegant and romantic.
