The heated room balcony is a great idea. It may be easier to make it structurally sound if you use insulation panels. At Home Depot, polystyrene panels 4x8' are around $8 and Polyiso high-insulation panels are $20 1" or $30 2". Those are going to allow you to cut an exact room out that will last and are similar to what is used to construct Hexayurts if you have heard of those being used in the desert for example. I would be glad to help with the build.

Yeah, you can also look up one of the following heating methods: Kotatsu, Korsi, Mesa Camilla, or Sandali
I have used something similar to stay warm in sub-freezing temperatures without having to rely on space heating.

 I like the idea of a Kotatsu, but I feel like it would be hell on my back and i wouldn't be able to maintain that pose for very long.  Maybe others feel differently.  But it would be nice to have the balcony area clean enough and nice enough for this kind of thing, and would hopefully attract the folks who have been avoiding sudoroom partially because it's so dirty.
