Winter garden on the roof with adjustable supports
Winter gardens on the roof of the house are not only a modern fashionable solution, but also have their own piercing history. The first mention of them in the pictures depicting stone vases in the palaces of Ancient Egypt dates back to the 4th millennium BC. Then the ancient Romans adopted this idea from the Egyptians, who placed mini-gardens on their window sills. The propertied owners of the estates could afford a garden in the very heart of the building, which was surrounded by powerful columns.
Europeans also did not remain indifferent to this idea, and already in the XI century, King William of Holland built a flower greenhouse in his own palace. Soon after, "orange houses" appeared – these are buildings in which citrus fruits bloomed all year round.
The greenhouse in Versailles from the time of Louis XIV is considered the most beautiful in the history of mankind, and we have the opportunity to see this to this day. In the XVIII century, the popularity of citrus trees, in the prototypes of winter gardens, was replaced by tropical plants that pleased the eye with their exoticism and riot of colors. In 1854, the Englishman Joseph Paxton built the Crystal Palace, the progenitor of the modern winter garden.
