i disagree pablo
a conservatory is nearly all glass,an orangery is generally a heated room that has large windows and a glazed roof
however i doubt there will be oranges growing in there
still think it looks tidy work

however you dress it up, if the customer wants to call it an orangery, and they are spending 100k, who are we to judge?
Some really nice work there.
It actually looks as though it should house a swimming pool!

Its not an orangery if your talking about an original 18th century building, but as far as the majority of these companies go, it is an orangery. Even the company that manufactures the steels, roof structure etc, are called Orangery solutions!

The structure has 4 glass roof lanterns, 2 sets of bi folds on the front a massive window on one side and a set of patios on the other side. Each room in the house is opened up into this. Light doesnt seem to be an issue with all that glass tbh, and to be fair, its not my bag if it does or doesnt.

The doors wont be painted, they are black aluminium, the frames and roof are cream and the fascia as you can see is a fawn brown colour.
Lots of customers go for the black ali bi folds with a different colour frame. The contrast of colours seems to be the thing at the moment.

Joy, nice looking work mate, you did a cracking job there and who cares about the functionality and light spread etc etc. we all didn't spend 100k on it.

Haggs, you win a prize again. Top looking work there.
