What the client needed

  • Enclose only the selected deck area.
  • Fit the existing roofline and weatherboard exterior.
  • Balance daylight with privacy.

Design and installation approach

The sunroom was measured to suit the existing deck and house. Its footprint leaves a portion of the outdoor area outside the enclosure.

Polycarbonate roofing admits natural light. Insulated lower panels provide a more private base to the walls, while the upper areas keep the room visually connected to its surroundings.

The result

The elevated home has an additional enclosed deck area and retains an outdoor section. The room combines a bright roof with lower panels that limit direct views inside.

Questions about this project

Was the whole deck enclosed?

No. The project description specifies that only part of the existing deck was enclosed.

Why use solid lower wall panels?

They add privacy at the lower portion of the room while allowing the upper areas to remain light.
