Bespoke Multi-Functional Orangery Extension in a Beautiful Country Garden

A bespoke orangery extension can completely transform a home, creating a bright, stylish, and functional living space. This stunning orangery was designed to complement a charming country garden, offering panoramic views and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Thoughtfully planned, it provides the perfect balance between relaxation, practicality, and aesthetic appeal.

A Stylish and Practical Orangery Design

This P-shaped orangery features a spacious hexagonal lounge, which naturally flows into a dining area. Beyond that, elegant French doors lead directly to the patio, ensuring effortless indoor-outdoor movement. As a result, the homeowners can enjoy their garden from multiple angles throughout the year.

To maintain harmony with the existing home, the homeowners selected white uPVC frames. This choice not only provides durability and low maintenance but also matches the original house windows. Additionally, red brick dwarf walls reflect the property’s character, creating a natural blend between old and new. To complete the design, decorative roof finials add a refined touch.

Bringing in Natural Light While Staying Comfortable

A large glass lantern roof spans most of the orangery, allowing an abundance of natural light to fill the space. However, to maintain a comfortable environment, the homeowners opted for New Generation Glass, which offers several advantages:

  • Reduces glare for a softer, more pleasant atmosphere.
  • Blocks nearly all UVA and UVB rays, protecting furniture and décor.
  • Helps regulate temperature, keeping heat out in summer and warmth in during winter.

To enhance the ambience, spotlights were installed in the perimeter pelmets, providing a warm glow during the evenings. This thoughtful addition ensures the space remains inviting at any time of day.

A Lounge Designed for Relaxation

At one end of the orangery, the hexagonal lounge area serves as a perfect retreat. The homeowners selected cool ceramic tile flooring, which adds a Mediterranean-inspired touch while staying cool in warmer months. Inspired by their love of gardening, they also incorporated built-in window ledges, creating ideal spaces for plants and decorative accents.

For ventilation and airflow, the orangery includes opening skylights, fully operational windows, and patio doors. These features allow fresh air to circulate freely, making the space feel light and refreshing. Additionally, neutral-toned interior walls contribute to a bright and airy atmosphere, reinforcing the orangery’s connection to the rest of the home.

A Smooth and Seamless Transition

One of the greatest benefits of this bespoke orangery extension is the way it maintains a natural connection with the main house. The original patio doors were retained, allowing sunlight to continue flowing into the home’s interior. Situated opposite the patio doors, the dining area creates a scenic spot for meals, even on cooler days.

To improve accessibility, a single side door offers direct entry to the garage and side of the property. Meanwhile, the homeowners opened up their kitchen doorway and removed a former window to create an open archway. This modification makes it easier to transport food from the kitchen while allowing for better interaction with guests.

Bespoke Open Plan Orangery Extension on a Luxury Country Home

This stunning home in Arundel has been transformed with a bespoke open plan orangery extension by Room Outside. As part of a large renovation project, this addition has expanded the living space. It now serves as a spacious dining and entertaining area.

A Seamless Open Plan Design

This large T-Shaped orangery connects directly to the lounge, creating an open-plan space ideal for socialising. A full-length lantern roof floods the room with natural light. Its apex design adds both height and elegance. Spotlights installed around the pelmets provide warm mood lighting in the evenings.

Designed to complement the home’s classic country charm, the orangery blends beautifully with the existing structure. The cream-painted timber frames match the property’s traditional style. Dwarf walls, made from reclaimed red brick, create a seamless look. Ornate carved detailing in the frames and pelmets enhances the orangery’s elegant design.

Enhancing the Indoor-Outdoor Connection

To maximise views and improve access, the old patio doors were replaced with bi-fold doors. This upgrade connects the orangery, lounge, and patio, creating a spacious open-plan area that flows into the garden.

Above the lounge, the balcony balustrade was upgraded to a frameless glass design. This change allows for unobstructed panoramic views over the stunning country garden. The structural glass balustrade preserves the home’s original architecture while adding a sleek, modern touch.

A Luxurious and Practical Living Space

Inside, the orangery offers plenty of room for a large dining table, making it ideal for entertaining. Thoughtful window sills provide display space for personal décor.

On the balcony, the new frameless glass balustrade creates a perfect spot for morning coffee. With no frames to obstruct the view, it offers a clear, uninterrupted panorama of the lush gardens.

The Ultimate Entertaining Space

This bespoke open plan orangery has not only expanded the home’s footprint but also enhanced its functionality. The combination of a luxury orangery, bi-fold doors, and glass balustrade has created a bright, open, and elegant space that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living.
