Bespoke Orangery Extensions

Orangeries

UK, Ireland, Europe & North America


Originally a decadent display of status and prestige, orangeries were used by wealthy households as a space to protect exotic plants - especially citrus trees - from the cold British weather. Their classical architecture, dominated by a column structure and extravagant amounts of glazing, still appeals to homeowners today who are looking to add both space and light to their property.

In an orangery, hardwood timber, glass, stone, and masonry are combined to create an impressive structure that will complement almost any property from a townhouse to country dwelling.

Whether the property is Georgian, Edwardian, Victorian, something older, or more modern, Hampton Conservatory’s bespoke orangeries and orangery extensions typically incorporate architectural features, materials and colours from the existing property. However, orangeries can also be consciously designed as a unique structure with independent architectural features in contrast to a building’s existing look and feel.

Common features of an orangery or orangery extension

An orangery generally combines solid and glazed wall sections and the design often incorporates vertical pilasters supporting a well-proportioned entablature - a horizontal structure that lies above the vertical pillars. Above this, a glazed roof lantern is built into a flat roof which adds both height and space and allows natural light to flood the room below.

Whilst their design may be classical, our orangeries use the finest materials & components, along with cutting-edge technology and building techniques to ensure these extensions are not only aesthetically pleasing but perform to the very highest of standards.

Uses of orangeries

While some homeowners still use their extension to house a prized plant collection or to protect specific flora from frost, most orangeries are now used as extra living space, either as a standalone room or to create a larger open plan area. They are mostly used as a kitchen-diner, additional sitting room, or party space but the light and proximity to nature also make them suitable for other purposes such as a yoga studio or a space for creative endeavors.
