The Challenge

The original elevated deck had views, but it was too exposed to wind, cold, and precipitation for comfortable everyday use.

  • No roof cover or enclosure
  • High winds made the deck unpleasant
  • Outdoor cooking and daily use were limited by weather

Our Solution

We built an elevated sunroom enclosure flush with the home’s floor level, using glass, height, and a gable roof to preserve the views.

  • Elevated enclosure aligned with existing house floors
  • Gable roof with cedar tongue and groove ceiling
  • Large glass openings and 4-panel sliding doors

The Results

The homeowners gained a brighter, warmer, and more protected elevated sunroom without giving up the open visual connection to the landscape.

  • Better protection from wind and weather
  • Large glass area keeps the views open
  • True sunroom feeling instead of only a covered deck

  • Large glass openings for daylight
  • More protection without closing off the views

Why This Project Works

Wind Protection

The enclosure makes the elevated deck much more comfortable in gusty Colorado conditions.

Natural Light

Large glass openings and gable glass keep the space bright instead of closed in.

Open Views

The glass-heavy layout protects the space while preserving the visual connection to the landscape.

True Sunroom Feel

The gable roof, cedar ceiling, and elevated glass enclosure create a finished room-like experience.

This project proves homeowners do not have to choose between comfort and openness. A well-designed elevated sunroom can protect the space while keeping the views and daylight that matter.
