Orangerie Ateljee designs conservatories and garden rooms that earn their keep from October to April, not only in midsummer photographs. Based on Punavuorenkatu 12 in Helsinki, we plan glazing, plant layouts, and lounge zones for courtyards and compact yards across the city.
More than a glass box
A garden room fails when it overheats in July and ices at the edges in January. We start with orientation, shading, and floor transitions into the main house so the space feels continuous rather than bolted on.
Helsinki context
Courtyard wind, neighbouring windows, and building committee rules shape what you can build. We work with your architect or structural engineer on envelopes; our focus is inhabitable interior design inside the glass.
Studio services
Glazing choice advice for comfort, plant-and-lounge planning, thermal comfort layers, floor transitions, and furniture scale for narrow footprints. Winter light notes help clients set expectations before construction drawings freeze.
Next step
Fees are published in euros. Read winter light notes if your site faces north, then contact us for a measured conversation about your plot.
Helsinki courtyards vary from generous shared gardens to tight shafts where neighbours see every shelf. Privacy planting, translucent films, and furniture backs are part of the same conversation as U-values. We design the room you will sit in, not only the glass elevation on a planning drawing.
Many clients renovate in stages: first the opening from the kitchen, later the full plant benches. Our packages can start with furniture scale and floor transitions so early contractor decisions do not trap you into a lounge you cannot furnish.
Sample sessions at Punavuorenkatu 12 let you handle frame sections and textile weights under mixed daylight. Email [email protected] to reserve a slot within Monday–Thursday hours or Friday mornings before 15:00.
