Contemporary conservatories with bold architecture

Combining classic elegance and timelessness, this vintage-charm model brings a sophisticated touch to your home.

Conservatories have long been part of our history! The first constructions, made of wood and wrought iron, offered the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while being sheltered from the elements. Whether in the form of a balcony or a terrace protected by a solid roof, these structures were already a popular solution, long before the advent of the conservatories made of aluminium that we know today.

The Dune conservatory provides an additional bright room that opens onto the garden, protecting the terrace from the elements. This aluminium alloy conservatory absorbs natural heat through its large glazed doors, maintaining a pleasant temperature in the rest of the house. It is suitable for budget-conscious customers, offering immediate added value to the house and long-term appreciation of their property assets.

Your questions about the vintage conservatory

How do you choose the materials, shape and colour of your retro conservatory?

When you want to create an old-fashioned conservatory, the choice of materials is essential.

Opting for solutions such as wood or wrought iron can help you achieve that sought-after retro look. What's more, choosing aluminium is a guarantee of strength, durability and ease of maintenance.

As for the shape of the old-style conservatory, traditional models are often characterised by curved lines and ornamental details. Take into account the architectural aspect of your house to adopt a configuration that will harmonise perfectly with its overall design. When it comes to colour choices, neutral shades are generally preferred for antique styles. Choose shades such as off-white, cream, beige or soft grey to create a timeless ambience. You can also add brighter touches with decorative accessories or furniture.

Don't hesitate to ask our specialists for advice on making the choice that best suits your needs!
