Conservatories have long been a popular addition to modern home and conservatories are used in many forms throughout the year

Conservatory styles usually fall into distinct groups and are based on the look from different periods of history. The main conservatory styles are Edwardian, Georgian and Victorian Conservatories.  

Nowadays there is a trend towards the erection of bespoke conservatories where you say what you want rather than being told by a salesman.  You do not have to stick to prescribed shapes and sizes. Orangeries are very popular with roof lanterns giving a wonderful feeling of space with the higher ceilings. 

Design considerations for conservatories and organgeries include:-
Construction - Aluminium, PVCu (often called plastic or PVC) or timber (hardwood). Each one of these have their relative advantages with PVCu offering the cheapest option, aluminium offering strength and durability, whilst timber (hardwood) conservatories give a more natural and traditional look but require more maintenance. Glass or non glass roof depending on accepted rain noise level and views through roof

Location - In full sun could be too hot. In full shade could be too cold. A downward view could beg for low retaining wall. With an uphill view could beg for a higher roof line (so roof line does not interfere too much with the view)
