Also not a pro... Yes.

Personally I do not think that porch posts or columns would add anything to the look of this house and in fact look kind of odd. Again just my .02 cents.....

Not a pro but a professional artist and I have to agree. Right now it looks like it's floating. Take a look at prairie style houses to give you an idea. Your house has the look of a modern day prairie home.

I don't know... I like it as is. Very cool house! Where would you place the columns? If you go to the end (corners) of the roof, then one column will be against the wall. If you bring it in, you cut off some of the openess of the porch. I think it's clear where the front door is. Here's a dodgy mockup:

I'm far from a pro so I'm hoping Renovator, Palimpsest, Live-wire, etc. chime in. Maybe x-post on the decorating forum.

You could also post in Landscaping. I think you could go no columns and do some type of tall landscape something on the end of the porch to define the edge, but that's just a thought and I'm really not a pro. They would have lots of ideas and probably have opinions about the columns.

Not a pro…I say no. No columns keeps it in line with all the other roofs you've got going there. Really cool house!

Is the bottom of the house (blue) going to be stone? If so you could do some really beautiful stone columns. That would swing me heavily in favor of columns :).

My only concern with the columns would be the symmetry of it. It looks like if you center them on the overhang so there are equal offsets on either side it might be off center on the door. Or to center it on the door it might be asymmetrical on the overhang. Not sure how to make that look right without a mockup.

The

base or water table is going to be brick. I will post the drawings as the architect visualized it for further clarification.

Thank you all for your likes and comments really appreciate it.

I was going to say no to the columns. But where is the water expected to go off that roof? I imagine you'll have gutters. Will the downspout run down the face of the wall? Do you maybe want something to hide that?

The asymmetry is fine I think - the overhang to the left matches your other roof overhangs, and the right "dies into" the wall which is fine.

I think your decision then is based on what you want the feel of the porch to be. No columns = some would say open and modern, some would say undefined or floating. Columns = some would say it gives the porch presence and coziness, some would say too enclosed with all 4 columns. I think preferences would generally fall along traditional/classic (columns) vs contemporary/modern (no columns). What's the style you are going for?

I think the columns give purpose to the spaces between the door and windows at the entry. Without them it feels like the windows should have been joined to the door.

I vote no columns. I think it would take away from all the clean lines of the great looking house!

I will be the voice of dissent. I like the architect's front elevation. I assume the column detail will be in keeping with the clean lines of the rest of the house. You have a beautiful house. I would trust the architect on this one. It looks like he's done a great job so far.
