What Is an Orangery?
The term “orangery” can be easily thrown around when discussing home extensions or garden rooms. A luxury orangery is a versatile and elegant type of conservatory that combines traditional features with modern design elements.
Originating in the 17th century, orangeries were initially built as a place to cultivate citrus fruits and protect delicate plants during colder months. Over time, orangeries have evolved into stylish living spaces that provide a transition between indoor and outdoor areas.
What Is the Difference Between a Luxury Orangery and a Conservatory?
While the two may look alike, what sets a luxury orangery apart from a conservatory is its robust, sturdy structure. This design allows for better insulation and temperature control compared to a standard glass conservatory.
Orangeries are often used as home extensions, offering a tranquil space to relax, entertain guests, or cultivate indoor plants. The use of high-quality materials and customizable features make orangeries a popular choice for homeowners looking to add a little touch of sophistication and charm to their property.
Whether as a cozy reading nook, a bright dining area, or a sun-drenched workspace, an orangery adds both value and character to any home.

Featured Project: Orangery in Oyster Bay, NY
One of our standout projects was a stunning luxury orangery addition to a historic cottage in Oyster Bay, NY. Our client, a retired Rockette and dance school owner, envisioned a bright, open space that would blend perfectly with her 1918 French-style home, which had been meticulously constructed by French artisans almost a century ago. The project presented unique design challenges, including the steep pitch of the cottage’s French Country tile roof and the need for precision in attaching the orangery to an inside corner with high rainwater runoff.
Our team rose to the challenge, designing a classic orangery with a flat roof and a skylight-style glass feature, creating a seamless connection to the historic architecture. Every detail, from custom mahogany doors to weatherproofing for seasonal durability, was crafted to meet the highest standards. Today, this timeless orangery stands as a retreat for our client—a perfect, light-filled addition that harmonizes with the past and meets the demands of modern luxury.
