Orangeries were fashionable in the 18th and 19th century, as a different way to keep plants and entertain guests. The orangery was used to show off prestige and wealth to friends and family. An orangery was a structure which was built separate from the house usually at the end of a garden.
Since the 18th and 19th century the orangery has evolved and is now used as an alternative to a conservatory or an extension. It is now usually found attached to a property instead of a separate building in the garden. It is now very rarely used to grow plants and trees in.
Orangery extension
An orangery is now seen as an extension with glazed elements usually doors and a roof light. Using glazing in an extension will help to open out an existing room in the house, make the rooms lighter and create that orangery effect.
Apropos design their orangeries to suit each individual client and property; they can be customised with different size and shape roof lights and different style doors to create a bespoke orangery.
