ORANGERIES FOR LONDON HOMES
A room with presence, built for London.
London's period terraces, villas and townhouses were made for an orangery. With a solid masonry base, glazed roof lanterns and tall windows, an orangery adds space and light while sitting comfortably against Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian architecture.
At Glass House Architecture, we design and build bespoke orangery extensions for homes across London, matching the brickwork, proportions and detailing of the original property. Every one is made to order and finished to the same standard as our work nationwide.

FAQ
London orangery questions, answered
A few of the things homeowners ask us most often. Anything else, just ask.
Can you convert a conservatory into an orangery?
Yes, we can convert a conservatory into an orangery, if your current conservatory is the right foundation for such a conversion.
Can you build an orangery in a London conservation area?
Yes. We have experience with conservation areas and listed buildings, and manage planning and heritage consent on your behalf.
Do I need planning permission for an orangery in London?
It depends on the size, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Many orangeries fall under permitted development, but London homes more often need planning permission for their orangery. We assess this early and handle it.
What orangery styles suit a London home?
Orangeries suit Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian London homes especially well, much better than a brick extension, whilst still matching the brickwork and proportions of the original building.
