Greenhouse/summerhouse combo

I know you can get sheds that are part 'proper shed', then a more summerhousey bit or a gazebo on the side. Is there a greenhouse equivalent, with a plant growing part and a sitting part? (The latter needn't be all glass, and could be just a roof.)

Why would you not simply buy a bigger greenhouse and put chairs and a small table in it, and equip it with power and electric light? Trying to understand what exactly you’re after.

It would perhaps be clearer to say the second part should not, rather than need not, be all glass.

Sitting in the greenhouse would be too hot☆. And we want 2 doors (if the sitting bit has surrounding walls) and a partition between the parts.

☆ For MrBint. I'd be perfectly happy to sit in a greenhouse permanently.

We could just get a greenhouse and build a gazebo or summerhouse next to it, but it would be neater to have it all as 1 structure.

And greenhouses tend to get wider as they get longer - this needs to be a longer, narrower rectangle than a typical greenhouse. Width approx 8 ft; length somewhere around 15 ft but we can be more flexible in than direction.

I’ve got a greenhouse with an internal wall and big double doors.

An alternative way to cool down would be a tree or climbing plant.

Could you take a summerhouse and replace some of the roof with a clear plastic roof? When I was thinking about that I came across the Malvern Studio.

or take a long greenhouse and have roof blinds for the summerhouse part

or talk to an independent conservatory supplier and see what they could offer. Perhaps one half on a half wall with roof blinds, the other half with glass down to the floor.
