We have always loved the look of a nook and fortunately our 90's style sunroom had the perfect window placement allowing for the nook to be built out over the deck area. We designed the nook to match the existing look of the house, moving the window out also giving the impression of a more open sunroom. The nook was designed to include louvre windows at each end to make the most of the sunshine, the breeze and the view over a golf course.
