Unique Neighbourly Space

In a unique twist, two neighbours wanted to share a glass veranda installed between their two cottages. Divided by a party wall, this elegant shared solution highlights their close friendship.

This recent project showcases a unique and heartwarming installation: a shared glass veranda between two Victorian cottages. Reflecting their close bond, this collaborative effort has resulted in an outdoor space that is both functional and beautiful, proving that within a limited space, a shared veranda can be a brilliant idea.

Two individual verandas would have created a clutter of leg posts in this small space, and two separate glass roofs would also have needed to be capped off down the middle to avoid rain dripping between them. This single veranda solution cleverly avoids such issues and places just one leg post into each small courtyard, an important consideration in a small space. The single black drain pipe at the rear is routed down through the glass roof using our special “pipe-through” panel, while the various wall pipes at the sides were entirely avoided for reasons of aesthetic appeal. The decided height at the front was designed to avoid each cottage’s side windows.

At Elegant, we pride ourselves on delivering bespoke veranda installations that meet the diverse needs of our many clients. This project was no exception. The shared veranda required careful consideration and execution to ensure it complemented both homes while providing a seamless and elegant outdoor living area. The story of these two neighbours and their shared veranda is a testament to the flexibility of our bespoke installations.
