The veranda is a true living space.
A veranda is a true additional room in your home. It provides you with a new living space that is bright and pleasant, without the budget of a traditional extension. Like any room, it requires careful consideration... and we can do this together.

-
First and foremost, define the function: extension of the living room, open kitchen to the garden, office, dining room, or transition space. This usage will subsequently determine the requirements for surface area, volume, ventilation, and habitability.
-
The contribution of light is one of the major advantages of a conservatory, but it is essential to avoid overheating in summer and feelings of cold in winter. The orientation directly influences comfort, just as the choice of glazing and solar protections do.
-
There are two main approaches:
- Glass roof: maximum light, a feeling of openness to the outside.
- “Flat” roof (extension appearance): a more “architectural” look, similar to a traditional extension.
The right choice depends on the style of the house, orientation, and the expected level of comfort (heat and light management).
-
The comfort of a conservatory heavily relies on insulation (cold/heat/noise) and light regulation. Therefore, the choice of glazing and protections should be made based on exposure and intended use, to ensure a pleasant conservatory experience throughout the year.
-
A conservatory must “breathe”. It is essential to plan for sufficient openings and to vary the types of openings (doors, sliding doors, tilt-and-turn windows, roof windows, etc.) to ensure daily comfort.
-
Depending on the area, height, and region, a building permit and the involvement of an architect may be required. This is a point to anticipate from the outset to avoid surprises.
