sunporch
Windowed outdoor room
A sunporch is an enclosed porch with large windows or screens designed to let in abundant natural light while providing shelter from the elements.
Unlike a fully open porch, a sunporch offers protection from wind and insects, making it usable in a wider range of weather conditions.
It serves as a transitional space between indoors and outdoors, often furnished for relaxation or casual dining.
We had coffee on the sunporch while watching the rain.
