The addition includes an orangery that echoes a greenhouse that used to sit in the space, while handmade brick was used to reflect that of the original house, so it could blend in seamlessly
Briningham House, a grade II listed Georgian country home in Norfolk was bought by owners Hugh & Sophie Crossley in 2015, and they approachedThey wanted to remove superfluous outbuildings, refurbish much of the original house, and add an extension that comprised a garden-facing orangery, a standalone flat, as well as a boot room and other ancillary spaces to complement the main spaces in the home.
The result was one that ensured the addition was secondary to the formal front facade. “The carefully proportioned openings set within the new wing,” Francis explains, “while the more relaxed garden-facing rear is more open and playful, with a long luxurious orangery set against a carefully preserved red brick wall.”
“The same can be said for the purpose of these rooms – a boot room, scullery, larder and auxiliary accommodation. What creates a sense of drama when moving between these new and original parts of the house, is the dramatic 15 metre orangery, whereupon panoramic views of the gardens are suddenly revealed.”
