solarium

Glazed garden room

A solarium is a room or enclosed space designed to admit abundant sunlight, typically featuring glass walls or ceilings.

Such rooms serve various purposes: relaxation and plant cultivation in homes, therapeutic light exposure in medical settings, or housing tanning beds in commercial establishments.

The word derives from the Latin for sun, and the defining feature across all uses is maximizing exposure to natural or artificial sunlight.
