Glass House Architecture

Bespoke glass extensions designed and installed across the UK

Glass House Architecture is a British company that designs and builds high-end glass extensions, hardwood orangeries and luxury conservatories. Every structure is made to order and engineered for the individual property, using what the company describes as premium materials and an exacting standard of finish. Projects range from a winter garden conservatory on a contemporary home to a traditional orangery on a listed building.

The company states that each project is managed from first sketch to final detail by a team that combines design and structural engineering. Its services cover planning permission, building regulations and installation, handled end to end. It also offers a 10-year warranty and describes itself as a Weinor approved partner.

Collections: six signature ways to bring light home

The company organises its work into six collections, each with its own design approach:

• Modern Winter Gardens: full thermal performance for year-round living, described as bright in summer and warm in winter.
• Glass Box Extensions: ultra slim-frame glazing and uninterrupted views of the garden.
• Verandas: integrated shading for protected outdoor living.
• Traditional Garden Rooms: timber garden sanctuaries blending period craft with comfort.
• Traditional Orangeries: detailed timber frames, roof lanterns and traditional English style.
• Period Conservatories: heritage craftsmanship for listed and period homes across Britain.

Beyond these collections, the site lists further structures and products: Victorian, Georgian and dome conservatories, contemporary winter gardens, glass box extensions, verandas, pergolas, canopies, awnings, roof lights and lanterns, windows and doors, patio doors, front doors, slim frame sliding doors, outdoor kitchens, and the Weinor range including Terrazza, Artares, glass rooms and awnings. Commercial pergolas, conservatories, fabric awnings and glass awnings are also mentioned.

Heritage and craftsmanship since 1946

The company presents its expertise in British architecture as standing the test of time and dates its heritage to 1946. It positions its work around light, comfort and craftsmanship, with structures built around how clients actually live. The emphasis is on made-to-order design, structural engineering and high-performance glazing for thermal comfort, slim sightlines and quiet, calm rooms.

Featured project: a wrap-around winter garden

One highlighted case study is a wrap-around aluminium winter garden built across an open corner, with full-width bi-folding doors, recessed spar lighting and automated roof ventilation. The site also lists other case studies, including a Manor House Winter Garden, a Cubic Veranda, a Dome Conservatory in North East, a South Downs Orangery, a Broughton Hall Dome Conservatory, a Glass Room Veranda, a Hardwood Garden Room and a Period Conservatory.
