Lantern roofs are the perfect finishing
touch
to any large conservatory.
Formed
by a
second tier of windows to the main
roof,
Lanterns add height
and presence
to the
overall construction.
More than that,
they also
help to increase the feeling of
interior space.
The
second tier of
windows
can also
incorporate
openers
to increase
ventilation
as well as
decorative glazing
panels for the ultimate
in
aesthetic appeal.
A piece of period perfection
A Victorian is one of the most popular
conservatory styles and it’s not hard to
see why.
Inspired by an era when Gothic style
architecture, complete with ornate
crestings and finials, saw a romantic
renaissance. These conservatories are
as
versatile as they are engaging.
Not only do they have the ability to
complement almost any type of property,
they can also be readily adapted to suit
whatever space is available – whether
that’s a large garden or a small patio
area. Typically, Victorian conservatories
have a three or five facet bay.
Few styles capture the proud architectural
heritage of the conservatory
quite like the
Gable. Reminiscent of the grand
orangeries
and classical
conservatories
of yesteryear,
this type of conservatory
enjoys an imposing
front elevation with
the windows extending
to the apex of the
roof.
As a result, it enjoys
a real sense of
presence and can add a feel
of stately
splendor to any home - and particularly
older, period properties. If you're
looking
for a conservatory that takes your breath
away every time you look
at it, then this is
definitely the style for you!
A modern interpretation of a regal age
in British architectural history, Edwardian
conservatories are typically
characterized
by their square or
rectangular
footprint.
This in turn means
they are incredibly space efficient -
allowing you to
enjoy the maximum
possible floor area.
However,
don't think
for a second that it's all about
function.
With Edwardian
conservatories,
you'll find
style in abundance too, thanks
to their imposing
nature and
widespread use of design flourishes such as
elaborate crestings
and detailed
molding.
