Is it possible to place a small wall created a courtyard for the second entrance? It could be low and have a small gate so that you could make it seem more private.

That's a great suggestion. Can you be more specific as far as height, materials, etc.?

Mr. Randel, I like your midcentury modern home design. Is there a way to incorporate elements of that home's entry into mine? I'd even consider bumping out the beige wall if necessary.

Here is an updated photo with a new door and mature plantings.

Since your roof is a hip shape, you could consider coming out over the front door with another hip extension, supporting it with wood posts and resting those atop a low wall or planter wall. Keep in mind I don't know the dimensions of what you are working with so that solution may be limited. Does this help?

i would break up the roof line with a gable pop up in the area in front of the door.. add some height .. perhaps an arch detail.. it will let people know where the front door is!

The pad directly in front of the red door is 64" x 70" . The planters sit upon a similar sized pad. The covered porch area measures 80' x 192".

Looks as if your door bell is on the door under the porch. Is that correct? This could confuse your guests as to which door you want them to approach.

I think having a planter or short wall to define the space in front of the porch might help distinguish it as a private entrance. Place a gate at the area between the front door and the end of the porch. You could still easily add a porch over the entrance which would be very nice. Maintain the eave line though so that you keep the feeling of the original.

I agree with the suggestions so far. To try it out, place planters along the front edge of the back door patio from house wall to step. If that diverts the traffic (and I think it will) build a short wall/fence with horizontal lines in the same place, maybe a stone planter box. Less is more. If closing off the line of sight from the front steps does the trick, no need for a taller barrier and a gate.

What about a low sheer screen on the right side or a porch like railing.

I appreciate all of your suggestions. I do like the idea of a short wall or shear screen to divert traffic. Would it also help to change the beige to a color that blends with the Roman brick?

You can choose a color in the brick to blend with the home and it would seem part of the original design. You could place a small bench behind the screen or railing or a cafe set.

I think you've got it. The lighter color of the secondary entrance does draw your eye to that door, so painting that section to blend better seems an inexpensive fix. Planters along the edge of the secondary porch, maybe with something tall like bamboo (haven't ever grown it myself, so am not sure of planter size/plant appropriateness) might make an interesting screen.

I like your idea of painting that section to blend and think a fence like LB Interiors suggested will fit in well with horizontal feel of your landscaping.

I'm thrilled to receive such wonderful ideas! Thank you so much.

I would suggest a few things:
1) remove the steps that lead to the beige door; use the area to enlarge the planting bed.
2) Paint the current beige area ( with the door you don't want guests to use) a color similar to the stone.
3) Use potted plants with some height lining the porch in front of the current beige area ( previously mentioned).
4) Paint the red front door the accent color of beige to match the garage door. This will help to identify it as the correct door.
5) You might consider replacing the (door you don't want guests to use) with a flat door. (no raised panels or windows).
5) Use decorative objects on the front door, to help I'd it as the entrance. I.e. seasonal wreaths, etc.

What about a very tastefully made small plaque that lets guest know it is the front door? Or has your house number on it? Or coat-of-arms. Also, a welcome mat at the door you want them to use and no mat at the door you don't want people to use.

The entrance closest to the garage appears to be recessed, and probably the more "informal" entrance. I recommend painting it a dark gray to allow it to "recede" further into the shadows of the roofline.
Put large 4'-5' tall topiaries on either side of the other door - perhaps in dark gray pots to tie in with the secondary entrance.

The secondary entrance is recessed and leads into the mud/laundry room. Very practical, particularly in the winter! I never thought of dark gray but like the idea of using color as a way to detract from that feature of the home.

If you do not want something to be noticed or stand out, I would paint it the same as the surrounding wall it is on or near. It will disappear, as it tends to do in your original photo.

I feel you need plants that are varying heights, not all in a row or like hedges. Tall and short, some groundcover and some accent annuals or perennials. Some large scattered boulder rocks would dramatize the different levels.
