This time of year, we’re all longing to see more of the sun. With that in mind, we're pleased to present some visual Vitamin D, and a look at resplendent conservatories and greenhouses. These sun-splashed structures are immediate mood-lifters and prized home features. They also celebrate the beauty of their natural surroundings while providing shelter from the cold.

This garden pavilion, designed by Bereznicki Architects, is the jewel of a romantic English park. Homeowners can experience the beauty of the grounds from within a glorious structure designed with French doors at every turn and skylights overhead.

When Kirby Perkins Construction lifted and renovated a barn on the banks of the Sakonnet River to create a garage and artist studio, the firm added a new greenhouse to the shingled structure. There, residents raise plants from seedlings before planting them in the garden.
