One question we are asked on a regular basis is what is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?

There are three ways of answering this.

Historically. Orangeries were introduced to the UK during the 17th century to grow Mediterranean citrus fruits in the cooler British climate. They were often built with a southern aspect to ensure warmer temperatures. Conservatories were originally designed to protect (conserve) herbs and pot plants over the winter months.

Architecturally. Although orangeries and conservatories – as terms – have become largely interchangeable over the years there still a difference in building style. Orangeries are usually more integrated into the existing structure of the home. There is often more brickwork in an orangery than a conservatory making it look more like a traditional extension although the distinctive glass roof clearly sets the orangery apart.

In Practice. Perhaps because of the more substantial build quality of traditional orangeries, the orangery is generally seen as an additional internal room – with multiple uses – while the conservatory with it’s large glass windows extends the home into the garden.
