The brief for this design was simply to cover the existing patio area without impacting on the spectacular views from the house. The columns have been bolted onto the existing patio wall thorough specially made column stones to complete the veranda area.

This veranda shows a potential solution to a common problem, how to build a veranda on a single storey building. The roof rises away from the house up to a ridge, and then falls down to normal height, in this case 3.5m away from the house. The rain water from the house and the rear of the veranda is collected in a specially made box gutter which flows into an existing down pipe. In order to facilitate cleaning, two windows were place in the rear of the glass roof, enabling the customer to clean the rear of the veranda.

As each veranda is custom built, we are able to marry the veranda design into other features of the house. This veranda has been designed to fit against the single story extension to the left of the veranda. The angle and height of the veranda is exactly equal to the extension, making the veranda fit in beautifully with the house. The hip on the right hand side, reflects the style of the main house roof, adding to aesthetics of the veranda.

This veranda has been constructed in an area of Exeter, famous for verandas. The building is both listed and in a conservation area so we had to work closely with the local planning authority to ensure the veranda design was acceptable. The structure has been built onto an existing raised patio and has also used a special flashings to avoid damaging the property.

This particular veranda, built primarily as a porch, shows clearly the addition of vertical glazing on the open side of the veranda. This type of vertical glazing uses the same glazing bars as the main roof section reflecting the design of the roof. The benefits of vertical glazing are both aesthetic and practical as the glazing will help enclosed the structure.

This veranda simplifies the profile of the rear of the house as well as creating a large useable space outside. The veranda has been extended over the back door to create a small porch area. This has the additional benefit of increasing the floor area covered in the main veranda area. The addition of the single hip makes the whole structure look less dominant against the house without loosing any floor coverage.

Measuring 8m by 4m this veranda is one of our largest structures to date. The main purpose of the veranda is to hold large garden parties comprising of 20 – 30 guests so size was very important. In order to increase the width and depth a flat section of roof was introduced into the design.

One of the most important parts of our design philosophy is to marry the aesthetic with the practical . The size of the veranda opposite has been determined by the needs of the customer to hold romantic evening meals for two in the evening without dominating the surrounding structures, in this case the nearby conservatory. This veranda also has a slate section of roofing. This section will not much shade to the veranda, however it is a spectacular addition to the verandas overall appearance.
