In most cases, you can attach a greenhouse to any type of house. However, certain factors need to be considered, such as the structural integrity of the house, available space, and local building regulations. You should consult with a professional contractor or architect to assess the feasibility and ensure proper construction methods.

Sunrooms are highly customizable and are built in a variety of configurations. The size and type will largely determine the overall cost of the project. Some of the most common types of sunrooms include:

• Three-season room: $10,000–$40,000

• Four-season room: $25,000–$80,000

• Glass solarium: $30,000–$75,000

• Conservatory or garden room: $5,000–$80,000

• Atrium: $10,000–$35,000

• Prefabricated sunroom: $5,500–$30,000

When designing an attached greenhouse, several factors should be considered. These include the orientation and positioning of the greenhouse to maximize sunlight exposure, the structural integrity of the connection to the house, sufficient insulation to regulate temperature, proper ventilation for airflow, and adequate space for plants and pathways. If you’re restricted because of your budget, go with a simpler design to maximize the use of your money.

Building an average-sized sunroom typically takes between two and four weeks, depending on the features you choose. However, more elaborate or larger sunrooms can take up to six months from start to finish. The timeline depends on the type of sunroom you want to build and whether it's a retrofit or you're starting from scratch.
