Extended Porch Living by Nicholas Lee
Traditional Rendering, San Francisco
This L-shaped ranch house includes covered porches on several sides for seamless connections between indoors and out. There is a spacious office at the corner of the L that can double as a guest room. It's adjacent to the powder room. The great room and the master bedroom open to porches on two sides. A multi-tasking, two-tiered island separates the kitchen from the rest of the great room and the fireplace is centered on a floating hearth for seating and display. A walk-in pantry is adjacent to the kitchen; the laundry is in the bedroom wing.
