St Michael's Manor Hotel - Hotel & Restaurant Orangery

Picture
St. Michael’s Manor Hotel is a Grade II* listed building, owned and run as a hotel by the Newling-Ward family since 1965. The brief was to design a space that would integrate the interior dining area with a new orangery by opening the external wall and extending the dining room by an extra two and a half metres.

There was an existing ‘Machin style’ conservatory, which the client wanted removed replaced by a larger structure with proper insulation and that was more sympathetic to the host building.

The new orangery had to be designed in sympathy with the elegance of this charming and historic Georgian building, creating an environment from which the views across the garden could be fully appreciated. The client had previously visited one of our commercial orangery style restaurants> at the Phyllis Court Club at Henley-on-Thames and was impressed with the quality as well as the style and  ambiance of the space created.

The client was clear that the new building had to be at least 7m deep (2.5m deeper than the existing structure) to add more covers and it was particularly important for them to be able to host wedding parties with more than one hundred guests.

Making the new extension much deeper than the old would require a complete rebuild, including new foundations and the walls that enclose the store room below. For peace of mind the client wanted a fully managed project that we call our turn-key service.

About the running of the project, the client said,
“The project was carried out in the first two months of the year so there were some adverse weather conditions to deal with. The team was most adept at turning their attention to other tasks when they were challenged. I particularly liked the willingness of David Salisbury to work with our existing suppliers."
“I was impressed with the organisation of the teams on site and their consideration in terms of the operational needs of the hotel. Communication with the Project Manager was excellent and he was available to speak to at all the critical moments.
