More room. More light. More home.
A modern orangery is ideal when you want a substantial, year-round room without losing the connection to your garden. Compared with a highly glazed conservatory, an orangery typically uses more insulated wall and ceiling area, with carefully positioned glazing and a lantern or glazed roof feature bringing daylight in from above.
We tailor the proportion of walls, windows and doors around your property, making the space equally suited to a kitchen extension, dining room, family room, lounge or open-plan kitchen-living area.
Built around your home
A contemporary favourite with an insulated perimeter roof and glazed lantern above the main living area.
Create a wide garden opening with slim aluminium bifolds or large-format sliding doors.
A more traditional layout with flexible window positions and classic garden access.
Coordinate the exterior with your property using suitable render, cladding or selected finishes.
Plan sockets, downlights and feature lighting as part of the room rather than as an afterthought.
Where appropriate, create a more connected layout between the existing home and your new orangery.
