For The Finest Conservatories, Orangeries & Rooflights.
From 17th Century Orangeries To Todays Designs
Expanding horizons, travel and interest in plant life saw the introduction of Orangeries, Palmhouses and other plant buildings in the 17th Century. Built predominantly of brick or stone within the grounds of grand estates, these orangeries featured generously proportioned windows and doors in order to provide enough light for the nurturing of young and exotic plants. These were to accommodate the new and growing interest in citrus fruits and other interesting plants and trees from foreign climbs.

Today there is much interest in recreating these beautiful rooms. The purpose may be to create a feature on a property or within its grounds, but is usually to provide a much needed extra room. The addition of orangeries, conservatories or a rooflight gives an opportunity to be creative with design and break with the tradition of other conventional rooms in the home. It can offer a totally unique environment and transform lifestyle. An orangeries uses are unlimited – an extension to living or dining space, a useful office or playroom or even a bright airy kitchen conservatory.
