Archipelago summer houses favour a glazed deck with LED.
Uterum, Glazed Patios & Louvred Pergolas in Sweden
For Swedes, an “uterum” or “inglasad altan” is how you stretch a short summer and still feel outdoors on dark winter evenings. Glass that lets light in and warm LED lighting are the keys to comfort here.

Why it works
- A glass room that stretches a short summer
- Warm LED light on dark evenings
- A deck sheltered from wind and rain
- Less heat loss with double glazing
