On The TSL Gazette special Design an article that talks about L’Officina dei Giardini in its purest essence: the tailor made of the “room of light”.
Imagine a room that defies the seasons, where the sun penetrates your skin even in the coldest months, enveloping the spaces in an embrace of light and warmth. Imagine being able to live in it with the comfort of a tailor-made suit and the class of a fine fabric. Imagine a tailor’s shop where the fabric is made of glass and iron, worked by artisans who keep ancient traditions and designers who are masters of the most efficient architectural techniques. Imagine a “room of light” that arises from your home and overlooks the garden, the urban space, the sea, the world…

In the atelier of L’Officina dei Giardini, works of art in glass and metal are created, tailor-made to expand the house beyond the confines of space and interpret the dream of the soul of those who live there.
Imagine a room that defies the seasons, where the sun penetrates your skin even in the coldest months, enveloping the spaces in an embrace of light and warmth. Imagine being able to live in it with the comfort of a tailor-made suit and the class of a fine fabric. Imagine a tailor’s shop where the fabric is made of glass and iron, worked by artisans who keep ancient traditions and designers who are masters of the most efficient architectural techniques. Imagine a “room of light” that arises from your home and overlooks the garden, the urban space, the sea, the world.
We are in Turin, in the atelier of L’Officina dei Giardini, the company that transformed the concept of a winter garden into a “tailor made” work of art. A concept that goes beyond mere construction, embracing the philosophy according to which each creation must be unique, like a tailor-made dress following the customer’s desires and needs.
L’Officina dei Giardini designs, designs and builds conservatories, orangeries, gazebos, pavilions, pool houses, glass roofs for gyms, bioclimatic greenhouses, kiosks, shelters, treillage, furnishings and accessories, entrance doors and windows for gardens winter of absolute quality. Many names to describe all the possible nuances of the “room of light”: where interior and exterior interpenetrate in the transparency of the glass and every detail is designed to guarantee not only aesthetics, but also structural stability and maximum comfort.
The concept of a winter garden has its roots in the mid-1800s, in English and French environments. Think of the majestic conservatories of the Cristal Palace in London or the Gran Palais de Paris, but also of the more humble buildings of the time, which experimented with a new material in vogue: iron. L’Officina dei Giardini fits into this tradition, reinterpreting it with a modern and sustainable eye.
There are more than 1,200 creations created in 30 years of work, all signed and numbered; unique works, born from in-depth bibliographic research on the best period creations and the artisanal wisdom of the past, revisited with new techniques, high-performance materials and some solutions patented exclusively for the company.
“Shaping metal and glass to transform a forgotten garden, or a small terrace, into a jewel for the soul, a delight for the eyes, a corner of paradise, is a unique and priceless pleasure – says Vittorio Cravanzola, founder, administrator and creative heart of L’Officina dei Giardini – The created environment immediately becomes an integral part of the home, indeed, it makes it larger and usually becomes the most lived-in room, the oasis of personal relaxation and the convivial place in which to meet friends ”.
The construction techniques have a low environmental impact and guarantee safe, healthy and long-lasting environments. Faithful to tradition, in fact, winter gardens optimize the energy relationships between the building and the surrounding environment. The windows and doors are certified, as is the acoustic insulation. There are no size limits, whether small or large. When light designs space, there are no limits even for the imagination.
