Orangeries in Wivenhoe
Light from above. Useful walls around you.
An orangery can combine a bright roof feature with the feeling of a more enclosed room. For Wivenhoe projects, we plan the ceiling, glazing and wall space together so the new room supports the way you want to live.

Three decisions worth getting right
02
Wall space
Keep practical places for kitchen units, storage or seating rather than glazing every elevation.
03
Garden doors
Match the opening style to the route outdoors and the room’s intended use.

See a completed flat-roof orangery extension in Colchester. When planning your own room, balance roof glazing with the wall space needed for furniture and kitchen units. Discuss the connection to the house, rainwater drainage and finishing work alongside the glazing and roof specification.
This project is shown at its actual location as a reference for your Wivenhoe enquiry.

Before you choose
Give the ceiling a job
Positioning the lantern or roof glazing above a table can create a focal point, while perimeter ceiling space can accommodate lighting. The roof arrangement also needs to be considered alongside the rooms behind the extension.
