Conservatory - In Communion With Nature
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sunil_Punjabi]Sunil Punjabi

Conservatories are best suited to be built in places, which have a panoramic view of natural life so that you get the feeling of being fully in the bosom of nature. However, everybody may not be living in a place of absolute scenic splendor and might still choose to have a conservatory attached to their existing home to be in contact with the available nature around. You conceal nothing of yourself from nature inside a sunroom, and nature conceals nothing of her from you. It is a total surrender to each other.

As people build conservatories adjacent to their houses, they have two options in going about it. First is building it on a pre-existing porch or veranda. The builder may not be able to give free rein to his creativity here. Since he would be building on an existing structure, he would obviously not have choices on the shape and size of the structure. But it would be a winner formula from the financial angle as it is bound to work out cheap for him. The other option is going in for a completely fresh construction, either attached to the house on one side, or fully separated from it. It is likely to be expensive, but so far as you can afford it, it is always better. It would allow plenty of choices in size, shape, roofing patterns, lighting and ventilation. Another factor that would decide the cost of a conservatory is the extent of your usage of it. If it is meant to be an occasional chat room, or just children's play room, the room may not require heating and cooling systems and so may not turn out to be expensive. But if you plan to live there through all seasons, or use it as a bedroom or dining space, then you would have to spend a tidy sum to make the room habitable.

Coming to pattern choices, a studio sunroom, also referred to as a sun lounge, or a lean-to conservatory, will be the easiest to build, as it is built as an extension of the existing building. A P-shaped structure is the next best. It will be a little more expensive because a P-shaped sunroom will be a new addition, not just an extension. These are generally large and those who get it constructed use it as a dining or living room. Another popular style that is a fusion of the ancient and modern is the Edwardian conservatory. In this style glass will be up to the floor, making the place look spacious than it actually is. The pattern is generally linear. The Victorian style is the most popular among sunroom designs and is generally a 3 facet one or 5 facet one though there are also larger ones with more facets. There are several companies that will build standard conservatories for you, or customized ones based on the size of the property and your predilections.
