If you are going to air condition/heat, the floor of the lanai must be raised to the same level as the main house (called capping).

how is having that room a step down any different than a sunken living room?
I agree it is the heat and air that makes it livable space not the level of the floor; however, I don't understand why so many people get hung up on this when the additional tax would be minimal compared to the enjoyment that you would receive.
