March 2004 Featured Installation - Town & Country
Description: The intent of this 23'-0" by 15'-0" hardwood
Orangery was to add a formal dining area in a little -used courtyard and to
improve the traffic flow in the U-shaped house. Within the space itself the
intent was to preserve the light of the courtyard space, but at the same time
afford some protection to the owner's wall art and antiques.

With a 3'-0" wide flat roof perimeter, the interior soffit detail provided
an excellent location for down lights to wash the adjacent walls. Town & Country
also proposed a flat roof centre section to provide additional sun control
and a convenient location for additional lighting and discrete air-conditioning
vents.
On the exterior, pilaster detailing suited the elegance of the French mansard
roof and unadorned brickwork. Copper lining of the Orangery box gutters provided
a subtle accent to the top of the ornate timber cornice detail. The frequent
use of copper is a distinct difference between Town & Country's U.S. and
UK projects, because lead, the more common UK roofing material is banned in
many areas of the United States.
Project Location: Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
