An Edwardian (or Georgian) conservatory is square or rectangular with a hipped roof that slopes on three sides back to the house. The straight lines make it one of the easiest shapes to re-roof and one of the best at turning into usable floor space.

Orangery conversions on a Edwardian conservatory

The rectangle suits an orangery layout well: a perimeter ceiling with a central lantern and often new insulated pillars.

  • Straight runs mean fewer cuts and quicker fitting than a Victorian of the same floor area.
  • The square floor plan uses every corner, so it is popular as a dining room or home office once it is warm.
  • A solid hipped roof looks close to a traditional single storey extension from outside.
