Where a sun room is any space in the home or detached from the home where one goes to utilize the energy and the rays of the sun, an atrium is more like a room that is part of a home. It has a hexagonal type room where one would go and have sanctuary. They have flowers and plants and they would oxygenate and give back to you and so it's more like a sanctuary from my point of view. You can use the room for reading room; you can use it for sanctuary just like a sun room. A lot of times people will take a patio and make that into a sun room enclosure.

In a classical sense you are thinking more of having plants and some furniture. Perhaps you are protecting your plants, but it's not a greenhouse; it is a part or a detached room of a home where one would have plants and one would have sanctuary. It may just simply be for plants where one could go there and read and your plants would be protected from the elements.
