Pretty Sunroom Addition
This sunroom, paired with outdoor seating, makes an indoor-outdoor entertaining center.
Sunrooms are versatile and can be formal or informal, depending on your needs. The style of this sunroom addition follows the lines of the existing house, and the windows take advantage of the lush lawn and garden.
This angled room gives a rear facade more design interest than a typical boxy bump-out. Wraparound windows let in light year-round, and screens let in breezes on warm, sunny days. A distinctive architectural feature, a cupola with windows, tops the addition and showers the interior with light. Traditional-style windows in the gazebo-like addition link the old and new spaces.
Stretching nearly 40 feet along the side of the house, an 11-foot-deep, prefabricated sunroom serves as both a greenhouse and a living area. Three sets of French doors open to the home's living room, providing daylight and plenty of expansive views.
Adding this sunroom to a suburban house created a generous dining area for a growing family. The addition sits at grade level on a concrete slab that extends to form walkways and a surrounding patio.
A prefabricated sunroom is a simple addition project. This glass-roof version was tucked under an eave and forms a small courtyard. Prefabricated sunrooms of any size must rest on a foundation that complies with local building codes.
This sunroom addition is nestled under a giant oak. Shade from the tree during the summer and early fall cools the space naturally. After the leaves fall, the added sunlight helps warm the interior.
This sunroom addition sits at the front of a cottage-style house to maximize sunlight. The sunroom expands the adjoining great-room and floods it with natural light. The original center-door entry was replaced with twin sets of French doors flanking the new sunspace.
Inspired by a French chateau dining room, this enchanting sunroom is a stylish complement to the stately brick Georgian home. A copper-clad roof and Doric columns reinforce the classical theme. The room's curve provides an enticing transition to the outdoors.

Seven great reasons for adding a Four Seasons Sunroom addition or ...
"Rooftop" redirects here. For a roof that is horizontal, see Flat roof.
A roof is the covering on the uppermost part of a building. A roof protects the building and its contents from the effects of weather and the invasion of animals. Structures that require roofs range from a letter box to a cathedral or stadium, dwellings being the most numerous.
In most countries a roof protects primarily against rain. In Persia the citizens used their roofs for milling wheat, farming, gardens and extra space. Depending upon the nature of the building, the roof may also protect against heat, sunlight, cold, snow and wind. Other types of structure, for example, a garden conservatory, might use roofing that protects against cold, wind and rain but admits light. A verandah may be roofed with material that protects against sunlight but admits the other elements.
The characteristics of a roof are dependent upon the purpose of the building that it covers, the available roofing materials and the local traditions of construction and wider concepts of architectural design and practice and may also be governed by local or national legislation.
The elements in the design of a roof are:
The material of a roof may range from banana leaves, wheaten straw or seagrass to lamininated glass, copper (see: copper roofing), aluminium sheeting and precast concrete. In many parts of the world ceramic tiles have been the predominant roofing material for centuries.
The construction of a roof is determined by its method of support and how the underneath space is bridged and whether or not the roof is pitched. The pitch is the angle at which the roof rises from its lowest to highest point. Most US domestic architecture, except in very dry regions, has roofs that are sloped, or pitched. Although modern construction elements such as drainpipes may remove the need for pitch, roofs are pitched for reasons of tradition and aesthetics. So the pitch is partly dependent upon stylistic factors, and partially to do with practicalities.
Some types of roofing, for example thatch, require a steep pitch in order to be waterproof and durable. Other types of roofing, for example pantiles, are unstable on a steeply pitched roof but provide excellent weather protection at a relatively low angle. In regions where there is little rain, an almost flat roof with a slight run-off provides adequate protection against an occasional downpour. Drainpipes also remove the need for a sloping roof.
The durability of a roof is a matter of concern because the roof is often the least accessible part of a building for purposes of repair and renewal, while its damage or destruction can have serious effects.
The shape of roofs differs greatly from region to region. The main factors which influence the shape of roofs are the climate and the materials available for roof structure and the outer covering.
