Often the smaller spaces are the most overlooked as was the case with this typical building typology. Too hot in summer and too cold in winter, the dated conservatory still had its uses but by carefully using the original foundations and extending its functions. This conservatory quickly developed into generational friendly versatile space. With carefully considered wall space, a cleverly placed oriel window, standardised space for off the shelf sensibility and the family passion planters, the ‘u’ shape talking pit is now a safe playroom for an inquisitive toddler and quickly will cater for the gaming teen who needs their own space.
