Orangeries tend to be constructed with a greater proportion of wall elements and partially-glazed roofs, the advantage of these design elements being that it is easier to place furnishings, such as kitchen cabinets, within the orangery itself.

How is an orangery constructed?

Typically constructed using brick and hardwood, orangeries offer light and airy living spaces that help connect a property's interior and exterior. Initially fashionable in Britain in the early 1600s, orangeries were originally used by wealthy property owners to cultivate citrus fruits.

How long does it take to build a orangery?

As with most ground floor, single-storey extensions, construction of an orangery will often take three months or more to be finished.
