You can do anything as long as you pay for it, so budget is always the major factor in any remodeling. As redesigning the entry ways, you can push out the front of the house by doing a nice addition making space for a nice entrance. Again the cost is the major factor and any home remodeling project can have plenty of options when it comes to a design to fit the need of the homeowner.

That being said, you get a good architect with some creativity and a homeowner who is willing to spend the money on major redesign and construction then the sky is the limit.

My first home was a bi-level house with a side entry 2 car garage. When I first got the house, I added a small gable above the entry door, installed a large bow window, changed the single door to a door with sidelights... and I had a confirming building lot next door which was subdivided to build a new house... So in order to subdivide the two lots, the side entry 2 car garage had to become one and moved to the front. So instead of moving the garage under the house, I build a 2 story addition, adding a master bedroom and master bath above the garage with a nice size walking closet and turned the previous 2 car garages into additional 2 bedrooms. I thought about pushing the front of the house out also to make a nice entry way, but we decided not to because we didn't plan to stay there much longer.

This is before and after
