Orangeries designed as part of your home

Farrow & Jones orangeries are constructed to feel like a natural extension of your house. Differing from conservatories through their rectangular floor print and brick-base, they’re a substantial addition to the home. Our designs are bespoke, with hardwood frames, elegant glazing and a roof lantern to bring light deep into the room, while carefully considered proportions help the new space sit naturally alongside the original architecture.

The enduring appeal of a traditional orangery

Orangeries have a long architectural heritage. Their roots can be traced to the grand estates of 17th-century Europe, where purpose-built spaces protected citrus trees and other exotic plants from colder climates. Over time, they evolved beyond their original horticultural purpose, becoming distinctive architectural spaces in their own right.

Today, the orangery offers a considered balance of solid structure, generous glazing and natural light, creating a substantial space designed for modern living and year-round comfort.

    Where architecture meets the garden

    An orangery should feel like a natural extension of the house, something that has always belonged there. Warm timber, generous glazing and a roof lantern create a naturally lit space with a strong connection to the garden.

    Whether used as a kitchen extension, dining room, second sitting room or simply somewhere to relax, an orangery can add valuable space while respecting the character of the original house. A choice of French, bifold, sliding, and traditional doors lets you tailor the relationship between interior and garden to the way you live.

    Understanding your new orangery

    A bespoke orangery is a significant investment in your home and property value. Here are answers to some of the questions we are most often asked about planning, design, construction and regulations.

    The main difference is typically architectural. An orangery has a stronger masonry presence, substantial brick pillars and a more solid roof structure, while a conservatory traditionally has more extensive glazing and a predominantly glazed roof.
