Did you know, that in the 17th to the 19th centuries orangeries were symbols of prestige and wealth? They were fine structures with a distinguished classical architectural form, that were fashioned to protect fruit from damage during winter.
Fast-forward to today, and orangeries have become a super popular choice when making home renovations - it's not hard to understand why! An 'orangery' is now also used to describe a glazed building which by design and construction differs from a typical conservatory.
A well-designed orangery should always follow the 'Classical Orders of Architecture', which determines the scale and proportion of the individual elements. This includes entablature depth, column widths and heights, fenestration, and glazing detail, all in relation to one other. But not to worry, I'll take care of all that!
