A small, dark family room
and non-descript concrete patio were preventing the homeowners from
enjoying their beautifully landscaped back yard. They also desired the
heart of their home to be one that allows for open gatherings of friends
and family members. As a result, providing a connection to the yard as
well as giving a sense of warmth and openness to the interior became
major drivers in creating the new sunroom and covered porch. The rear
wall of the family room was eliminated, creating an arched opening to
the new vaulted sunroom. The new covered porch with 10’ bead board
ceilings and decorative columns created an inviting outdoor space
bridging the living areas with the rear yard.
