Denton, Md. -
Tanglewood Conservatories Inc., a Maryland based designer and
manufacturer of custom
glass conservatories and botanical
display houses, has announced the development of a
new line of copper clad conservatories.
Based in Denton, Md., Tanglewood designs and
builds elegant, 19th-century-style conservatories, resembling
complex, sun parlor-like additions for homes, ranging in cost
from $100,000 to several millions. With several hundred structures
throughout the U.S.-in cities such as Boston, New York, San
Francisco, and Chicago-the company has also exported its conservatories
internationally.
Tanglewood Conservatories was founded in 1993
by Maryland architect Alan
Stein and his wife Nancy, a fabric artist and former
corporate manager. The company is well known for its ability
to develop new technologies in support of its upscale, creative
design endeavors.
Mr. Stein commented that Tanglewood's ability
to produce copper clad windows, roof systems as well as the
many decorative parts that give its conservatories their clearly
recognizable allure, has been under development for several
years. "This is as much about art and craftsmanship as it is
technology - and that takes a long time to develop", Stein says.
The company recently completed an ornate copper
conservatory for a client in Montana. The owner was concerned
about the harsh Montana winter. Given the remote location and
his plans to be away for extended periods throughout the year,
he did not want to have to worry about the need to maintain
a typical wood conservatory. "Our client wanted his conservatory
to be completely maintenance-free." Not wanting to settle for
an ordinary PVC or aluminum clad product, he searched for a
company that could produce something extraordinary made from
copper or bronze. His search led him to Tanglewood and their
appealing designs reminiscent of the Old-World style of conservatories.
While the outside of the unique room is entirely
clad with copper, its interior is finished with richly stained
mahogany.
Tanglewood Conservatories, already well known
for its copper
domes, lanterns and skylights, says that a number of
other exotic copper conservatories are already being designed. |
