Sunroom

A sunroom (also solarium, garden room, and other variations) is a structure, either attached or integrated into a building such as a home, restaurant, or office, which allows enjoyment of the surrounding landscape while being sheltered from adverse weather.

Also known as a sun parlor, sun porch, patio room, Florida room, garden conservatory, or winter garden,[1] such rooms are popular in the United States, Europe, Canada,[2] Australia, and New Zealand. A portico is also sometimes called a porch.

In Great Britain, with its long history of formal conservatories, small scale "sunrooms" are also sometimes known by that term.

Sunrooms are used in passive solar building design as a technique for heating and lighting structures.
