sun porch
Windowed outdoor room
A sun porch is a room or enclosed porch with large windows designed to admit abundant sunlight.
Typically attached to a house, it serves as a bright, casual living space—somewhere between indoors and outdoors: We had coffee on the sun porch while watching the snow fall.
Also called a sunroom or Florida room.
