Custom Conservatory Design
Each
Tanglewood conservatory begins with a phone
call from you and a conversation about your
home. We believe great architecture begins
with your ideas, feelings, and needs—not ours. We learn about who you are and listen to what you say.
We can work side by side with your architect if you already have one. Then we
use our creativity and architectural skill to create a custom conservatory design that
reflects the things that are important to you. We don’t offer standardized “models,” “sizes,” or “architectural
details”—we won’t try to squeeze your needs into a preconceived
box. Instead, your conservatory starts with a clean sheet of paper, fresh ideas,
world-class design, and you.
A Conservatory Architect Defines your Project
After
your call, we schedule a visit to your home.
During that meeting, one of our conservatory architects will ask
you many questions, such as, What do
you like about your home? What would you
change? What appeals to you about the idea
of a conservatory? How will the new room
be used? In the hands of a skilled and imaginative
architect, the answers to these simple questions
become the foundation for the design of your
conservatory.
The process
is interactive and collaborative. We take
great pride in our ability to listen to others’ ideas
and turn them into conversations about what
is possible. Our clients are often surprised
and delighted to learn they have many more
choices than they originally thought. |

Questions, Questions, Questions
Tanglewood’s
initial project definition and custom conservatory design services
are furnished on a retainer basis. The process
usually requires several visits with a conservatory architect and takes from
three to six weeks to complete. Multiple design
approaches are frequently considered. During
this time we address many of the questions you
might have, such as, How will Tanglewood work
with your architect and general contractor? Can
the room be used year-round? How long will it
take to produce the conservatory? Who will put
it up? In addition, there are often questions
about heating and cooling the conservatory, about
building permits and technical issues such as
engineering.
