Looks very nice. Just one consideration… you mention the ceiling so assuming it is covered. It will affect the sunlight that comes in those two windows. Not sure if you want to be hassled with skylights tho, to help with that? Also, make sure it can comfortably sit the # of people that would use regularly when it comes to dimensions and sizing... We regret not making our patio bigger for that reason!

I am going to assume you enter the house from the garage for the most part? Also wondering if you could do a https://www.marygrove.com/adjustable-pergola/louvered-struxure/ over a solid roof structure, as to light flow. Or even a pergola

I think it looks confusing with straight lines in the gables and curving lines in the porch design.

I agree — the proposed porch arches look more gothic than tudor. I would make the new porch match the existing porch on the end of the house.

The porch in the “front” has arches as does much of the interior of my house — doorways, niches, the shower…. They are not the traditional Tudor arches but I think architects probably did a mashup sometimes; we also have Mediterranean-style in the neighborhood — they probably werent thinking at the time that a house needs a,b,c to be a tudor :) We thought about just continuing that look on the side, but there is no way there would be enough brick and someone commented it made it look too “Mediterranean” from the initial drawings. You can see in the second pic where this is kind of a common look in the neighborhood with the main porch and then like a vestibule that is similar. Perhaps the third pic works with the little curves in the corners? I feel like I often see these on Tudor cottages. i kind of thought a little curve would soften some of the lines :) or maybe just the little curves for the main entry to the door?

The windows on the porch are to a bathroom and playroom — i think they will be ok for light but i will ask the contractor about options! thank you

I have to disagree with most other comments... I like the arches and don't think that they are distracting. I like the look and now that you point it out, matches the other side of your house... And makes sense on the windows, probably fine if just those rooms!

I like the arches too, and think they fit your house nicely.

The other arches you show are "heavier" and work with those houses.

In your first and second photos, the arches are the focal point because there is nothing else competing with those arches.

In the third photo, the slight arch mimics the door and helps lead your eye to the door. Additionally, the boards in the gables in the third house are simple in design so one doesn't compete with the other.

The difference is your gables have several angles and then you have a rectangular door and now you're adding arches that have no relation to anything else on the front of the house. What would work is straight, angled pieces between the columns so it mimics what's going on in your gables.

I don't like the arches. Is it possible to leave out the center pillar? It doesn't line up with the center of the gable and blocks the window behind it.

I missed that it doesn't line up. That would be a hard no from me.

We don’t have exact dimensions yet and to my eye the dimensions don’t line up to real life, but we have another architect we are using for the actual dimensional planning for this. We had a lot of problems with our first architect and thankfully our contractor is very good and has architects on staff. They stepped up to fix her problems on the addition. My husband knows the GC— they used to share a building, he is a litigator who has dealt with construction cases so that doesn’t hurt :) I can’t speak to how they treat other customers but they bent over backwards for us). We had to have the addition reframed because they put in 7 foot ceilings at first because her drawings weren’t easy to interpret; siding pulled down a few times because I didn’t like how it looked and she also didn’t draw it to scale; our garage opener had a height problem for my husband’s Tesla and the doors couldn’t open completely—all of it they fixed no cost to us, probably a couple other things im not thinking of. I trust we will work out those sorts of issues because we will not be working with her again.

If you're dealing with a new architect, see what the new architect comes up with. It may be something even better.

That is true cpartist! I basically designed this porch (and I am not an architect lol) and gave it to the architect for rendering lol. That was kind of how the whole project went. But I based this on homes in the neighborhood and lots of searches on Tudors. And the architect — our neighbors used her and probably did 1 million worth of renovations and was featured in a local home tour (moving stairs and all kinds of things in a 1890 farmhouse). We figured she was good but man were we surprised. She also almost had our garage where we weren’t going to be able to get into it because of the slope— which I accept people make mistakes but then offered no resolution— the construction was starting — thankfully the contractor noticed that the garage slope was too high. Then she abandoned us after we pointed out this error and asked for the rest of her money 9 months later after never visiting the site or giving us plans for phase 2 and 3 (all part of her contract). So now we are little nervous lol but do trust our contractor.

I began to feel like I should have gone to school for architecture and design lol.

Honestly as I've said before, there is a better design that works with the gables instead of fighting them.
