The Orangery is a more substantial version of a conservatory and
bridges the gap to an extension. It is normally a combination of
large windows and doors within a stone or brick structure with a
lantern roof surrounded by a flat roof perimeter. An orangery maximizes
space available and is fast becoming the desired option for modern
glazed extensions. This style works as well for both contemporary
and traditional settings giving you a light and airy feel due to
the lantern roofs. Many people are now using this style of extension
for the new location for the kitchen because of the unique living
space that this can provide. The Orangery, the true forerunner to
the conservatory is now gaining back the popularity that it once
had and is fast becoming the must have style.
