Your project in the canton of Solothurn
The canton of Solothurn extends along the foot of the Jura and the Aare. The town of Solothurn, with its churches and Baroque houses, has an old town where getting around by vehicle is difficult. Olten, a railway hub, and Grenchen, shaped by watchmaking, have rental blocks and districts of family homes. Zuchwil and Biberist form a more residential suburban area, while Balsthal opens onto the Thal valley and its farms. In the north, Dornach lies within Basel's orbit. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can still be written in English. In the old town or for a change to a façade, it is essential to check with your municipality. Give the municipality, postcode and delivery access restrictions, especially if the building is in an old town.
- In Solothurn's old town, say whether access is via a pedestrian street or a courtyard.
- For a family home in Grenchen or Olten, give the year of construction and any work already carried out.
- For a farmhouse in the Thal, describe access to the building and the parts to be renovated.
Pergolas and conservatories in the canton of Solothurn
In the canton of Solothurn, the foot of the Jura and the Aare plain offer varied sites for a pergola or conservatory. In Zuchwil, Biberist or Grenchen, residential areas readily accommodate an aluminium canopy or a fully glazed extension of the living room. In Solothurn's baroque old town, listed houses limit visible additions, while in Olten apartment buildings and semi-detached houses tend to call for balcony covers. In the Thal, towards Balsthal, village houses more exposed to the cold benefit from a well-insulated conservatory. Around Dornach, near Basel, hot summers argue for adjustable shading. The municipality where you live will explain the procedure.
- At the foot of the Solothurn Jura, orient the conservatory to avoid the cold wind coming down from the ridges in winter.
- In a semi-detached house in Olten or Grenchen, show your project to your neighbours to check that the roof does not block their sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
How should summer and winter use be described for a veranda in Solothurn?
Say whether the space is intended for occasional shelter or regular occupation, and describe sun exposure, shading and how it connects to the home. Ventilation and temperature expectations affect the design. Ask the project team to assess these needs before choosing glazing or assuming the enclosure will be comfortable throughout the year.
How do a pergola and an enclosed veranda differ?
A pergola is generally an outdoor structure with varying levels of shelter; an enclosed veranda also needs glazing, ventilation and careful interfaces with the building. Describe how you intend to use the space so the design can be assessed for that purpose.
What should I compare in pergola and veranda quotes?
Compare the structure, roof, glazing and shading alongside foundations and rainwater drainage. Identify heating or electrical work separately if requested. Ask who checks the applicable procedures with the municipality and who is responsible for the connection to the existing facade.
How should I prepare for the pergola and veranda visit or work?
Prepare a simple sketch with doors, windows and nearby boundaries, using available dimensions rather than altering the site. Describe ground levels and existing drainage. Agree access for delivery and whether paving or planting must be protected or moved.
