A sunroom can serve as a pleasant place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors while staying comfortable inside. For those reasons, it’s often a request of many of our clients in their new homes. Today we’re sharing four of our favorite sunroom designs that make for the perfect place to lounge and let the light in.
Classical Revival
Our Classical Revival project’s sunroom features a spectacular raised granite hearth, running bond brick splits and rustic stone fireplace. The glass panels are also interchangeable with screens so the client can cool off during the height of summer. Switching the panels back to glass when the weather starts to shift makes this a true three season space.
The French doors of the family room blend seamlessly into the rustic fieldstone wall with jack arch and solid bluestone sill.
This sunroom offers wonderful harbor views from the suspended day-bed and is the perfect place to relax or entertain!

French Eclectic
Next up is the sunroom in our French Eclectic project. This sun-soaked space boasts intricate timber framework, brick floors and infill, and 180-degree views of the harbor and Long Island Sound beyond.

Rustic Barn
The sunroom adjoining our antique barn project helps make the project more functional as a guest house and entertainment space by providing a light filled room that the barn alone would simply not allow.
The conservatory, by Parish Conservatories, mimics greenhouses that were common on working farms and fits perfectly on this property between the lush gardens.

Classic Georgian Restoration
Lastly, our Classic Georgian Restoration home features the chic sunroom pictured below. The original terracotta floors and load bearing brick arches are still intact, and the restored windows and doors look better than ever.
If you look closely, you’ll notice operable sidelights that rotate on a central pin rather that a typical hinge. A light whitewash over the brick gives the room a more current feeling to match the mid-century modern décor without losing the charm and original texture of the brick.
Our Classic Georgian Restoration exemplifies a significant undertaking in renovation and restoration at a classic Georgian home in Greenwich. Take a tour here.
