Glassex Conservatory Design Competition
"A Stunning Success"
The Glassex Conservatory Design Competition succeeded, according to one of the event’s judges, in “bringing out the very best that the British conservatory industry has to offer.”
So proclaimed the judges of the competition, who also described the event as, “a stunning success”. Glassex is the main trade exhibition for the Glass and Glazing trade in the UK.
With the finalists and winners displayed in a stylish and relaxing environment at this year’s Glassex, which took place during March at the NEC, visitors were able to examine the highly individual entries, many of which showed extraordinary skill and ability, with the winners also demonstrating an exceptional flair for presentation.
The Competition was divided into three categories: Conventional Domestic; Conventional Commercial; and Portal, with each being judged on design innovation, production innovation, aesthetics, structural integrity and calculations, and the quality of the entry. A winner was decided for each category, with an overall winner declared.
A prolific Hampton Conservatories – the company submitted three entries – took both the Conventional Commercial and the Portal categories with designs that were felt to be “exceptional in almost every respect”, offering “imagination, creativity and commitment to detail that sets new standards.”
The Conventional Commercial entry was an extraordinary edifice produced for the Faculty Club of the prestigious Harvard University in the United States. In the style of an Orangerie, the installation was felt to be “evidence of exceptional design and production skills”, in an entry that was “thoroughly calculated and executed”.
The Portal was even more impressive. This extraordinary swimming pool house built for a family of swimmers, some of international standard, at their home in Ireland, required “an understanding of structural values and calculus” that was “at the top of the pile”.
Little if anything about the structure was of stock manufacture, with “an attention to detail that is truly impressive”. The quality of Hampton’s entries was also extremely stylish, with the drawings produced “easily able to grace the walls of the customer’s home.”
In fact, so impressive was Hampton’s Portal entry, that it won the overall accolade as Glassex ‘Conservatory Design of the Year’.
