DESIGN APPROACH
Timeless Architectural Detailing
The goal for this project was to make the front entrance feel more welcoming while staying true to the character of the home. The new porch design added stronger architectural detail, better balance, and a more refined overall look from the street.
A lot of attention was given to the proportions, trim details, and overall flow of the entrance so the finished result felt natural to the home rather than looking overly modern or out of place. The finished porch adds warmth, character, and a stronger sense of arrival while keeping the timeless feel of the property intact.
