The Summer House 2 is a significant new addition to an historic house just outside the CBD of Orange. The new works include the restoration of the existing house, new living and sleeping areas as well as new garaging and workshop areas. The new work is arranged around a protected north-east facing landscape courtyard. The relationship between inside and outside allows the landscape courtyard to become a primary living space that is overlooked and easily accessed from all key spaces in the house. Northern light penetrates deep into the plan and windows are strategically placed to capture the favourable north easterly breezes.

Samuel Moore, owner of Consilium Hortus, is renowned for creating beautiful, bespoke outdoor spaces which are designed specifically to meet his client’s tastes. Taking inspiration from landscapes, architecture, art, design and nature, Samuel meets briefs and creates stunning projects in gardens and spaces of all sizes. This recent project in Colchester, Essex, had a brief to create a fully equipped outdoor entertaining area. With a desire for an extension of their home, Samuel has created a space that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A louvered pergola covers the full length of the back of the house. Despite being a permanent structural cover, the roof, which can turn 160 degrees, enables the sun to be chased as it moves throughout the day. Heaters and lights have been incorporated for those colder months, so those chillier days and evenings can still be spent outdoors. The slatted feature wall, not only matches the extended outdoor table but also provides a backdrop for the Outdoor Kitchen drawing out its Iroko Hardwood details. For a couple who love to entertain, it was obvious that a trio of cooking appliances needed to be incorporated into the outdoor kitchen design. Featuring our Gusto, the Bull BBQ and the Deli Vita Pizza Oven, the pair and their guests are spoilt for choice when it comes to alfresco dining. The addition of our single outdoor fridge also ensures that glasses are never empty, whatever the tipple.

This is a larger roof terrace designed by Templeman Harrsion. The design is a mix of planted beds, decked informal and formal seating areas and a lounging area.
