Orangeries
The next generation of conservatory
The
orangery is the forerunner to the conservatory and dates back to the
17th Century. Originally, orangeries were designed to protect valuable
and exotic plants and fruits during the winter months. Early orangeries
had large windows and doors within a stone building. Today, orangeries
retain a unique character that sets them apart from conservatories, but
the distinction between them has evolved over time and now orangeries
are generally defined as the next generation of conservatory.
Orangeries
represent the ideal combination of the benefits and looks of
conservatories and more conventional extensions. They are wonderfully
light and airy spaces due to the glazed roofs as well as being cosy and
inviting throughout the year. For this reason orangeries provide unique
multi-purpose living space. Recently we have seen a significant growth
in popularity - customers who might have opted for a conservatory are
now just as likely to choose an orangery.
