Conservatories


K nown throughout the world for their illustrious gardens, the English developed the recognizable style of their famous glasshouse during the latter part of the nineteenth century. But, the greenhouse of yesterday has evolved into the conservatory of today.
Thinking about adding a unique space to your home? You can... with minimal construction cost. Why not add a conservatory? They're not just for horticulture any more. They add architectural  elements to an otherwise unimpressive structure. If you're handy try a DIY kit. There are many styles and uses for conservatories just as there are for any room. Conservatories bring in the light. They function as an outdoor room in most cases except the outdoor elements are eliminated. They can also function for a pool covering. Which ever style you choose... I always say... make it fun and make it your own.

A more traditional style and function

Have a conservatory in the city... add one to a townhouse

The pool pavilion is a great way to extend the pool's use during the winter.

Conservatories with low pitched roofs and a more substantial looking structure, originated as buildings where orange trees were grown.

Conservatories are as much an architectural statement about the importance of design.
