A Truly
Modern
Living Space
»»Synseal’s Modena orangery
has been installed at a detached Lancashire
home to replace an existing two-storey
building extension and conservatory,
delivering an improved replacement extension
which affords a truly modern and flexible
living space.
The aim of this project was to create
a large kitchen-family room in the heart
of the house, so the old conservatory was
demolished and the rear wall of the original
extension was removed, allowing the new
extension to project further into the garden
patio area.
Key to the design was installation of a
Modena structural orangery with a K2 glazed
roof overhead, to illuminate the widespanning L-shaped extension measuring seven
metres by six metres that now combines a
luxury kitchen with a light and airy social
space.

The Modena is primarily designed for urban
townscape and modern suburban applications,
presenting traditional orangery design features
with a modern twist. In addition to an
internal perimeter soffit, Modena’s striking
decorative aluminium fascia is a unique
feature, creating an additional overhanging
external soffit.
For the bi-fold door on this project, the
threshold was built-in and precisely levelled
against the adjacent internal oak floor, to
seamlessly
link the inside12:27
and outside.

The Modena fascia has also been
customised on the side and rear elevations to
be shallow in design with no soffit overhang
above window openings, to maximise
daylight. By contrast, the deep external soffit
above the bi-fold door provides effective
shade and shelter from the rain and this
design feature has been enhanced by adding
external downlights to create a magical touch
when the sun goes down.
