GEORGIAN CONSERVATORY

Georgian Architecture is the name given to an architectural style that was current between 1720 and 1840 and is typified by symmetry and proportions. Perhaps the best known original Georgian Conservatory still in existence is the Nash Conservatory originally built at Buckingham Palace and moved to Kew Gardens in 1836.

Due to the cost of glass and the heat that single glazing let escape, there was not a lot of glass in an original Georgian Conservatory. Today this is much different, so a Georgian Style Conservatory will only be picking up on architectural features of the period, particularly the window frames and the type of brick used to support the conservatory.

If your conservatory is being attached to an original Georgian property, these features will be particularly important so that any necessary Planning Permission can be obtained. The interior size of the conservatory may also be taken into consideration, using the “double cube” proportions so loved by Georgian architects.
