A glassed-in patio allows people who freeze easily to be outdoors on chilly days and evenings – suitable for wheelchair users
Description
A glassed-in patio was built where the original patio stood. The windows can be opened to allow a breeze to blow through when it gets too warm. An infrared heating unit is installed on the ceiling. The room is not insulated and is not kept frost-free in winter.
Patio furniture: a table without an edge was chosen to make it easy to slide under with the wheelchair.
