    MCCORMACK & ETTEN ARCHITECTS LLP Excellent question ( and 1st time anyone has asked it!) This porch has an 8" pre-cast concrete plank floor that spans wall to wall, overwhich is a 2" thick poured concrete slab that contains radiant hydronic heating tubes for in-floor heat. Above that is a liquid applied waterproofing membrane, then a cleavage membrane, then mudset stone flooring. Below all this are suspended 2x ceiling joists with heavy foam insulation and vapor barrier. Now the disclaimer: Installations of this sort are tricky and conditions variable, and I would always be wary of building finished interior space below open exterior space. Consult a qualified arciitect.

    lisasapio Thank you, I figured it was not going to be an easy job. I am thinking that I may have to put window's in and close up the space, like a three season room but didn't want to go through the expense as it is on the north side of the house. We have a very large front porch that wraps both sides and looking to utilize the space under the cold side of the house where I work out of to allow more space with sunlight. We did pour a concrete slab underneath and have cinderblock walls that we will be putting stone on....we always figured we would use this space at some point.

    Love all of your design ideas.

    MCCORMACK & ETTEN ARCHITECTS LLP Good solution! If enclosed to eliminate the weather it really simplifies things, whether a conditioned space or not. Good luck with it!
