Outdoor Rooms vs. Glass Houses – Which is Right for Your Home?

Outdoor Rooms: A Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Experience

Outdoor rooms are partially enclosed spaces designed for entertaining, dining, or relaxing — think of them as elevated patios with a roof, walls, and lighting. They often blend seamlessly with your home, using timber decking, louvre roofing, and open airflow.

What is a Glass House?

A glass house is a fully enclosed structure made of transparent or translucent glass walls and often roofing. Unlike sunrooms that attach to your home, a glass house can be a standalone structure — a stunning greenhouse-style space used for:

  • Yoga or meditation
  • Home offices
  • Entertaining guests
  • Garden rooms

Which is Best for You?

  • For family gatherings and summer BBQs? Outdoor room.
  • For peace, privacy, and winter comfort? Glass house.
  • Want the best of both? Consider a convertible glass enclosure with sliding or stacker doors.
