Embracing the Radiance: Kathy & Adrian Ellis' Lantern-lit Haven
Kathy and Adrian Ellis recently undertook a remarkable transformation, converting their aging conservatory into a dazzling flat-roof extension adorned with Ultrasky Lanterns. Bathed in natural light, thanks to the inclusion of two expansive lanterns in the roof, and graced with striking bi-fold doors that seamlessly merge the extension with the garden, it's evident that this space exudes an awe-inspiring charm.
Adrian Ellis shared insights into the couple's motivations for extending their home and how this new living space has revolutionized their daily life:
"Our west-facing backyard, shrouded in the embrace of tall trees, prompted us to install a single-pane glass conservatory a decade ago. It provided a luminous sanctuary to bask in the evenings, but it soon became apparent that it was ideal for spring and autumn, yet too sweltering in summer and too chilly in winter. Showing signs of aging, with a wooden base succumbing to rot, we faced a decision: repair or replace. With retirement ushering in a new phase of spending more time at home, we yearned for an extension that offered a bright, airy sanctuary usable year-round, furnished with modern comforts rather than mere garden seating. This presented an ideal opportunity to seamlessly connect the space with the rest of the house, crafting an open-plan expanse linking our lounge and dining areas."

Collaborating with the experts at Lifestyle Windows in Derbyshire, they conceived a contemporary haven designed for enduring appeal and performance. Together, they meticulously crafted an extension that maximized access to the garden through expansive bi-fold doors, while also enhancing connectivity with the house. Natural light was of paramount importance, leading them to select two Roofwalla Ultrasky roof lanterns. The challenge lay in achieving a harmonious balance between abundant illumination and energy efficiency, given the substantial glass area. After careful consideration, they opted for two mid-sized Ultrasky Lanterns, striking the perfect equilibrium.

With the completion of their new extension, the Ellises couldn't be happier. The space exudes a vibrant radiance, becoming their favored spot for relaxation, as well as a vibrant venue for gatherings, BBQs, and socializing with loved ones. The seamless integration of the garden and the modern aesthetic of the extension provided an ideal canvas for lively, colorful furnishings, garnering numerous compliments.
The living room now plays a secondary role, as the extension's inviting atmosphere beckons. This newfound connectivity has revitalized the dining area, turning it into a more frequented space.

In their quest for the right partner to bring their vision to life, the Ellises scoured the internet for a local installer. Lifestyle stood out with its stellar reviews and an accessible showroom showcasing their extensive product range, including the captivating Ultrasky Lanterns. The high-quality specifications of the Ultrasky Lanterns and aluminum bi-fold doors were pivotal in their decision to collaborate with Lifestyle. The installation crews exhibited consummate professionalism, delivering work of impeccable standards. Overall, their experience was marked by exceptional customer service.
Lifestyle's additional landscaping efforts seamlessly merged the extension with the garden, providing a stunning finishing touch to the project. The Ellises are smitten with their new extension, receiving an outpouring of admiration, even from their window cleaner, who praised both the design of the Ultrasky Lanterns and their easy maintenance.
