Orangeries
What is an orangery?
An orangery was a building frequently found in the grounds of fashionable residences, made popular in the early 17th century. Traditionally, orangeries were a statement of grandeur, the opulent green house would often store exotic citrus plants which would otherwise perish during the unforgiving winters. Predominately ornate in design, the orangery was either an extension to the main house, or a free standing structure.
This where is where it gets interesting...
Not only is an orangery a fantastic looking design which would compliment any building; orangeries are now affordable. Everyone knows what a conservatory is; however only a small minority know the tremendous advantages of having an orangery instead of a conservatory or an extension for that matter.
