A t Tanglewood, we believe landscape, con- servatory, and home should listen to one another. This particular design was selected by our clients from among several that were presented during Tanglewood’s well-structured Design Develop- ment process.

The Design Development process involves working together to clearly define important aspects of the project then allowing our designers to use their architectural creativity and sense of proportion to "put the pieces together".

The resulting designs often incorporate interesting or special details from adjacent architecture. If done well, the result will be a playful and easy unity of the old with the new.

The design of this glass conservatory involves the use of a curved main facade and curved window heads - all conceived to gently echo the shapes from the home's unique front entry. Even the inset pattern in the pilasters makes use of this subtle shape.

Sometimes, our work will involve the exact replication of existing parts or pieces from the home. That way, the conservatory will mesh perfectly with its surroundings.

For this glass conservatory, the window mullions were specially fabricated as exact replicas of those on the original 1920's sash.

Patterns were made of the original

profiled parts, then transferred to drawings and finally to the special knives that were used to cut the new parts in our workshop.
