The Gibbs range of classical porches

A contemporary range of porches that are rooted in tradition.

Classically-inspired cast stone porches

Designed by Hugh Petter, Director of ADAM Architecture, The GIBBS Range of classical porches has been inspired by the Georgian architect James Gibbs (1682-1754). A rich legacy given a contemporary twist, this range of porch designs is equally suitable for new and historic buildings alike, including both elaborate and more restrained details.

Elegant architectural porches for all properties

The GIBBS Range is conceived around the two oldest and most widely used Orders – the Doric and Ionic.  Over the centuries, generations of Classical architects have adapted the proportions of these two Orders to suit a variety of situations.

A unique matrix of interchangeable components has been devised to offer architects, designers, builders and homeowners the opportunity to build elegant architectural porches for any situation; that use the rules, geometry and proportion of Classical architecture; and at an affordable price.

Comprising entablatures, columns, cornices, shafts and bases, our components enable you to design a unique porch based on your own particular style and preference.

I always enjoy working with the team at Haddonstone.  Their technical team are excellent to work with and the quality of their products is invariably good.

When looking for a cast stone manufacturer to partner with for our Gibbs range of authentic classical porches, Haddonstone were the natural choice.

Rooted in tradition

Drawing on the Orders of Roman architecture, this range is specifically conceived around the two oldest and most widely used ones: the Doric and the Ionic.

The GIBBS Range includes both elaborate and more restrained details so that the character of the porch can be finely tuned to each home.

“Haddonstone’s new GIBBS Range is the result of an imaginative collaboration with
architect Hugh Petter and draws on the elegant models provided by James Gibbs,
one of the most enterprising design heroes of the Georgian age.

The result is a series of Doric and Ionic porches with a subtle variety of treatments which can be
carefully adapted to bring elegance and dignity to houses old and new”.
