What Are Orangeries?
Orangeries are a delightful blend of elegance and practicality, offering a unique space that bridges the indoors with the outdoors. Originally designed in the 17th century to protect citrus trees during the colder months, these structures have evolved into stylish home extensions that provide a luxurious living area filled with natural light. In Basingstoke, where homeowners are increasingly looking to enhance their living spaces, orangeries have become a popular choice. They not only add a touch of sophistication to homes but also increase property value, making them a wise investment for those looking to improve their living environment.
What is the difference between an classic conservatory and an orangery?
While both orangeries and conservatories offer a connection to the garden, they differ in construction. Orangeries typically have a solid roof with a glazed lantern and more brickwork, providing a more substantial and permanent feel compared to the fully glazed roofs of conservatories. Our orangeries are crafted with precision, using advanced materials and techniques to ensure durability and energy efficiency. Our designs incorporate high-performance glazing and insulated roofs, providing comfort and style throughout the year.

The History of Orangeries
Orangeries came into fashion in the 17th century and were a statement of wealth as only the richest homes would have them. There were typically on the ground floor of a property and were a sheltered area to grow fruit trees – including orange trees – which is where the name came from.
