A 6-feet-tall door? It's a bad idea. Someone 6+ feet tall would notice because they'd risk banging their head. 10% of males in the US are taller than 6'.

What are you hoping to gain by enclosing the breezeway?

I would not install a 6 foot door.

Can you tell me what the breezeway will be? I am seeing another door. What is that? Does there have to be a door in the breezeway area?

Not even doable because code mandates that exterior doors must be at least 76" in height.

We're trying to enclose it to become a mudroom. The breezeway goes into the kitchen. The door you see goes into the living room. The setup of this house is not great to say the least, and we're trying to maximize. Having a mudroom would be a game changer because right now you basically take off your shoes and jacket in front of the refrigerator. I hate the idea of a 6ft door too, hopefully we can figure something out!

The only way I could help is if you post a floor plan of the current home.

Could the door be on the end you are not showing?

" I want to know if people think this would look weird or you would actually be able to tell? "

Horribly weird and realistically not functional.

Competely dysfunctional. Which is why it is againt code. If you want to make that habitable space, you are going to have to create a foundation, remove the roof, and then reframe it higher up, to achieve minimum ceiling height requirements. Plus full electrical and HVAC. You will then run into egress requirements if those windows are bedrooms.

Nothing to add other than cute pup!

Would it meet your local code to enclose the two open sides of the breezway with windows and then put the egress door on the gabled end of the garage (out of view in picture) or is that where the garage door opens? Hard to figure out if it's a rear entry garage or side entry garage since the picture doesn't show.

NOPE to this idea and really I have no idea without seeing a floor plan if this is even worth the work

Just don’t have the mud room go all the way to the edge. You could keep a walkway between the garage the new mud room and have the door face the walkway. Or have an “indent” and put the door on the other side of the beam.

Thank you for confirming my thoughts everyone! :) We are not going to enclose the breezeway, the ceilings would also only be 7ft. Or we'd have to rip it down and re-build and that's not an option. We are going to reconfigure the space inside and move the entry door under the breezeway. Not perfect, but I also don't want a weird little mudroom that just doesn't work.
