Orangeries

An orangery is a type of architectural structure similar to a greenhouse but typically larger, more ornate, and often includes living spaces. Unlike conservatories, which use more glass, an orangery is more like an extension with more brickwork or stonework and less glazing, making it better insulated and suited for year-round use​​.

Orangeries have evolved from their 17th-century Renaissance origins, where they were often built facing south to maximise sunlight. Initially, many had slate roofs, which were replaced with a glazed lantern style in the early 19th century, a feature still used today​​.

Orangeries offer increased living space and can significantly add to your property's value. They provide a bespoke extension that suits both your needs and the style of your home, making them ideal for a variety of uses such as dining or entertaining guests​​.

Our orangeries come with various customisation options, including a selection of frame colours to match your home's aesthetic, brickwork options to complement your property, and the choice of matching entrance doors and windows​​.

Yes, orangeries are designed to be energy-efficient home extensions. You also have the option to add features like lighting or speakers into the interior's perimeter ceiling, further enhancing the space's functionality and comfort​​.
