A success story always starts with a well-structured plan, the realization of which passes through expert hands and takes shape in harmony with the environment for which it is intended. This is how we work at L’Officina dei Giardini, never forgetting the poetry of history, which we continue to write with all new words.
Once upon a time… there was an old farmhouse with a little-used terrace overlooking a central courtyard—perfect for summer but little used the rest of the year. Instead of simply replacing the large windows to make the garden accessible from the house, we decided, in agreement with the customer, to use the space to create a lounge area overlooking the garden, a space with that special communication between inside and out that makes conservatories so magical.
The most challenging part was integrating the new structure with the existing home, but that’s the beauty of our work, and we know how to do it best. The key point of entry was an existing central column around which a perfectly integrated, custom-designed structure was developed.
The customer provides us with a brief description of the space selected for the structure, some photographs, including thoughts about the type of structure they would like to create and an idea of the maximum size. We then recommend the most appropriate procedures for obtaining the necessary permits based on the location chosen for the conservatory.
At L’Officina dei Giardini, we develop a volumetric representation with the desired form and dimensions and include a few indicative photos chosen from among the hundreds of works we have already created. A spec sheet and cost estimate will give an idea of financial commitment needed to create the design.
After defining the contract and drafting a time schedule, our technical staff supports the customer through the authorization process by producing the graphic materials needed for the paperwork.
Once the necessary permits have been obtained, an inspection is organized to determine the final dimensions necessary for the structure. At this point, the adventure of actually building the conservatory can begin.
The final design of the structure down to the last detail is presented to the customer for approval, which then starts the production process. Architects and technical staff get to work in the L’Officina dei Giardini workshop.
The project takes shape as it is pre-assembled in the workshop, which enables the customer to come it and finalize the choices for each and every detail. After a bit more coordination work, the conservatory is ready to be transported and assembled on site.
On-site assembly is handled with meticulous attention to detail by L’Officina dei Giardini, ensuring that the finished product integrates seamlessly into the context for which it was designed.
And just like that, the conservatory is ready to be enjoyed!
