Creating an orangery extension for your home

Creating an orangery extension for your home

Mr & Mrs Small owned a detached property in Hampshire and were looking to extend their small kitchen in an orangery so it was big enough to accommodate their growing family. An orangery was suggested by the supplier as an orangery would suit the style of the house and serve its purpose.

“We wanted to make use of the unused space on our patio to create more space in the house. This was done by adding a lovely orangery which brings in the light and makes our kitchen a much more socially room” says Mrs Small.

An orangery is a new or existing extension which includes glazed elements such as roof lights and folding sliding doors. An orangery allowed Mr and Mrs Small to extend their kitchen and create a dining area and separate living space. Their orangery design has been used to combine their traditional period property with a contemporary kitchen extension.

The glazed features added into this orangery design brightened up a dark house and enabled Mr & Mrs Small to bring their beautifully manicured garden into their kitchen. To continue with the design Mr and Mrs Small decided to use the doors on the existing part of the house so they matched the orangery.

The orangery designed for Mr and Mrs Small measured 4.3m x 4.9m and included three sets of folding sliding doors and a roof light. All these elements where manufactured with glass and aluminium and powder coated in a slate grey to create and orangery, which complemented the house perfectly.

Orangeries are the ideal feature for any period property or contemporary house. They create a light airy space which can be used for work, rest or play. For further details on having an orangery designed for your property just click here to receive a brochure.
