sun room

Windowed sitting area

A sun room is a room with large windows or glass walls designed to let in abundant natural light, typically attached to a house and used for relaxation or growing plants.

Unlike a porch, a sun room is fully enclosed and climate-controlled: We added a sun room off the kitchen for morning coffee.

Also spelled sunroom.
