Orangeries
What are orangeries?
Originally orangeries were a fashionable addition to the houses of wealthy Northern Europeans throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th
centuries. There purpose was to provide a space protected against the
harsh weather for the cultivation of citrus plants. An orangery was a
status symbol of the time and grew to become much more than a glasshouse
– many on a vast and ornate scale to show off their owner’s wealth to
the utmost.
What is a modern orangery?
Today the orangery is once again becoming a status symbol. Unlike its’ forebears a modern orangery isn’t sought after to grow citrus plants – a modern orangery blends the light, airy, glass expanses of a conservatory with the solidity and permanence of an extension and the result is a great space which beautifully compliments a property. Our orangeries can add value, space and great aesthetics whether you choose to have them configured as a kitchen, dining room, lounge, study or something else.
