Glass and Steel Pool Conservatory

W hen a Louisiana-based architect began a large renovation project for a client who requested a conservatory pool pavillion enclosure, he commissioned Tanglewood to design and build the structure.

From the beginning, he made one crucial stipulation - the custom conservatory must be entirely made of steel and glass - not wood! He loved the aesthetic of the old-world steel and glass conservatories that seemed so transparent. He also wanted a steel conservatory because of the southern climate.

Tanglewood enthusiastically accepted the challenge and began work on the concept for a building entirely different from any other conservatory design they had previously produced.

The exposed steel roof structure incorporated a gentle curve which softens the space and half-round pilasters were used inside and out to emphasize their support.
