In June 2008 I interviewed Alan Stein of Tanglewood Conservatories on this site, and have kept my eye on the progress of his company ever since.
Tanglewood design and build upmarket glass conservatories for the American market with an attention to detail that is quite remarkable. They have recently produced two videos which I highly recommend you watch.
The first video shows how Tanglewood designed and built a conservatory in Arkansas which is a replica of a conservatory on the Biltmore Estate in Nashville, North Carolina. This video shows how Alan oversees the careful and detailed manufacture of the copper clad, hardwood conservatory with massive curved, arched beams and mahogany finials.
The second video shows the erection of this bespoke structure:
It is humbling to see how a company can produce a building of such quality and to witness how much pride in their work displayed by Alan and his staff. I do hope to go and visit Tanglewood Conservatories at some time in the future to see the team in action.
In the meantime, it’s back to the real world…
