Florida Room Design

This newly constructed home in Virginia was thoughtfully designed to make the most of its expansive backyard and covered porch. The porch was intentionally divided into two distinct zones: one half left open for grilling and outdoor dining, and the other fully enclosed with ActivWall to create a bright, comfortable Florida room that can be enjoyed in every season.

The enclosed Florida room seamlessly blends indoor comfort with outdoor views. Along the wall facing the backyard, eight large fixed glass panels create an uninterrupted visual connection to the landscape beyond, flooding the space with natural light. The wall facing the adjacent dining area features a centered swing door flanked by two fixed glass panels on each side, providing convenient access while maintaining a cohesive, symmetrical design.

All units are finished in a clean white powder coat, complementing the home’s exterior and interior palette. A horizontal mullion placed at 30 inches across every panel adds subtle architectural detail and visual consistency throughout the space. The system is constructed with thermally broken aluminum frames and insulated glass, ensuring the Florida room remains cozy in winter while staying cool and comfortable in summer.

The custom configuration includes two groups of four fixed panels measuring 119.6″ x 96.5″ and 118.25″ x 96.5″, respectively, along with an end group measuring 149.75″ x 108″. This end group incorporates a 33″ x 105.5″ swing door, providing easy access and everyday functionality without sacrificing expansive views.

By enclosing a portion of the covered porch with ActivWall, the homeowners gained a versatile, light-filled Florida room that extends their living space year-round. Whether used for casual lounging, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the changing seasons, this home showcases how thoughtful design and custom glass solutions can transform outdoor areas into truly livable spaces.
