The Temperate House, opened in May 1863, is a Grade I-listed showhouse for the largest plants in Kew Royal Botanic Gardens. Rectangular, with pitched roofs, its pillars support wrought-iron ribs. Decimus Burton and Irish engineer, Richard Turner, the designers, gave the House a mix of decorative motifs, finials, pediments, acanthus leaf capitals, Coade stone urns and statues. According to Greg Redwood, Kew's head of glasshouses, "The effect is similar to the contemporary iron pier pavilions of Eugenius Birch."

  • The Temperate House, opened in May 1863, is a Grade I-listed showhouse for the largest plants in Kew Royal Botanic Gardens. Rectangular, with pitched roofs, its pillars support wrought-iron ribs. Decimus Burton and Irish engineer, Richard Turner, the designers, gave the House a mix of decorative motifs, finials, pediments, acanthus leaf capitals, Coade stone urns and statues. According to Greg Redwood, Kew's head of glasshouses, "The effect is similar to the contemporary iron pier pavilions of Eugenius Birch." Although construction began in 1860, it would not be completed until 1899. It was positioned to be the first feature visitors saw as they entered the gates with the anticipated coming of the first railway station at Kew expected to be at the end of the adjacent avenue. However, Kew Gardens rail station was built 500 yards to the north, leaving the glasshouse "somewhat stranded in the landscape". In 2011 Kew launched a £15m public appeal to address necessary repairs to the Temperate House. An early exercise in cast- and wrought-iron and glass construction, the building is structurally sound but the Victorians hid utilitarian features like drainpipes inside the stone columns. Water round the edge of the building led to rust on the iron to push against the masonry which was falling away. Decorative features made of wood were rotting. It last underwent a major restoration in the early 1980s. The building was restored during 2014–15 by Donald Insall Associates, based on their conservation management plan. There is a viewing gallery in the central section from which visitors are able to look down on that part of the collection.It was re-opened to the public in May 2018. (en)
  • La Temperate House, aperta nel 1862, è una serra per le piante più grandi dei Kew Royal Botanic Gardens. Di forma rettangolare, con copertura a falde, i suoi pilastri sostengono costoloni in ferro battuto, Decimus Burton e l'ingegnere irlandese, Richard Turner, i progettisti, diedero alla serra un mix di motivi decorativi, terminali, frontoni, capitelli in foglia d'acanto, urne e statue in pietra di Coade Secondo Greg Redwood, capo delle serre di Kew, "L'effetto è simile ai padiglioni contemporanei del molo di ferro di Eugenius Birch ". Venne posizionata per essere la prima costruzione che i visitatori avrebbero dovuto incontrare quando varcavano i cancelli dopo la costruzione della prima stazione ferroviaria a Kew che sarebbe dovuta essere costruita alla fine del viale adiacente. Tuttavia, la stazione ferroviaria di Kew Gardens venne costruita 450 metri a nord, lasciando la serra "un po' isolata nel paesaggio". Dentro la Temperate House Nel 2011 Kew ha lanciato un appello pubblico per la raccolta di 15 milioni di sterline per affrontare le riparazioni necessarie alla Temperate House. La prima costruzione in ghisa, ferro battuto e vetro, era strutturalmente solida, ma i vittoriani nascondevano caratteristiche utilitarie come i tubi di scarico all'interno delle colonne di pietra. L'acqua intorno al bordo dell'edificio portò a creare della ruggine sul ferro creando problemi alla muratura e gli elementi decorativi in legno stavano marcendo. Aveva subito un importante restauro nei primi anni 1980, ma è poi stato restaurato nel 2014-2015 da Donald Insall Associates, sulla base del loro progetto di gestione della conservazione. C'è una galleria nella sezione centrale da cui i visitatori possono guardare dall'alto quella parte della collezione. È stata riaperta al pubblico nel maggio 2018. La superficie della serra è di 5700 m2, quasi il doppio di quella della Palm House. (it)
