What is the patio made of? »

Gardner Mohr Architects LLC The patio and the interior floor immediately inside consist of brick pavers -- Manganese Ironspot, by Endicott. http://www.endicott.com/tb-cc.htm. 1-5/8" thick for the interior, and a full 3-5/8" paver for the exterior. The interior has a finish on it by Prosoco. http://www.prosoco.com/.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by John Hill to Extend the Roof for Shade and Shelter

This "Sixties Solarium" in Washington, DC was renovated to improve the thermal performance of a 1969-era addition to a 1929 house. Translucent panels comprise the second floor wall above glass doors, all capped by a projecting roof that offers some shade but also incorporates down lighting for the patio below.
