Elegant back porch photo in DC Metro with a roof extension

This covered deck project was done for our neighbors. We used timber-frame and client had us install PotteryBarn lighting.

Modern renovation of a ranch style home in Dallas, Texas that included an addition, pool, detached pool cabana, and detached studio and workshop. Creating a quiet gesture to the neighborhood and utilizing the entirety of the lot were high priorities for the client. Sho sugi ban (charred) cypress cladding with a simple roof form created a backdrop for the variety of native plantings toward the street. With the addition of a steel and timber structure, along with expanses of floor to ceiling windows, the team made it a priority to transform the somewhat gloomy, compartmental space to one that was flowing and connected to the pool and landscape.

Looking for more space to entertain guests, our homeowners asked us to help transform their longtime dream into reality. Their “must-haves” included a large gathering room for entertaining and hosting events, and a primary bedroom suite in which to relax. The bedroom suite with walk in closet and private bath was designed with both elegance and functionality in mind. A washer / dryer closet was enclosed in the bathroom to make laundry day a breeze. The kitchen received added sparkle with minor alterations. By widening the entrance from the original kitchen/breakfast room to the addition we created a new space that flowed seamlessly from the existing house, appearing original to the home. We visually connected the new and existing spaces with wide-plank flooring for a cohesive look. Their spacious yard was well-configured for an addition at the back of the home; however, landscape preparation required storm water management before undertaking construction. Outdoor living was enhanced with a two-level deck, accessible from both the primary suite and living room. A covered roof on the upper level created a cozy space to watch the game on tv, dine outside, or enjoy a summer storm, shielded from the rain. The uncovered lower deck level was designed for outdoor entertainment, well suited for a future firepit. Delighted with the realization of their vision, our homeowners have expanded their indoor/outdoor living space by 90%.

A renovation project converting an existing front porch to enclosed living space, and adding a balcony and storage above, for an aesthetic and functional upgrade to small downtown residence.

A typical post-1906 Noe Valley house is simultaneously restored, expanded and redesigned to keep what works and rethink what doesn’t. The front façade, is scraped and painted a crisp monochrome white—it worked. The new asymmetrical gabled rear addition takes the place of a windowless dead end box that didn’t. A “Great kitchen”, open yet formally defined living and dining rooms, a generous master suite, and kid’s rooms with nooks and crannies, all make for a newly designed house that straddles old and new.

This is an example of a large coastal screened-in back porch design with decking and a roof extension.

Speaking of the shed roof on this addition, look closely at the area over the screen door that leads out to the uncovered patio space. What do you see over that screen door? It’s a perfectly-screened open wedge that starts small at the outer door frame and gets bigger as it reaches the wall of the house. If you didn’t already know we custom make all of our screens, you could tell by looking at this wedge. And there’s a matching screened wedge at the opposite end of the porch, too. These two wedges of screening let in just a little more light and contribute to the airy, summery feel of this porch.

The first thing these homeowners did after we completed their screened porch was hang festive string lighting around the interior. Pure joy is what we see there. And those little lights help show off the beautiful porch ceiling. Here we installed our trademark tongue-and-groove ceiling made by Synergy Wood. These Synergy Wood ceilings are always gorgeous. They’re made of premium-quality wood, hand-crafted and prefinished, and our clients love them. We added a ceiling fan and recessed lighting to the ceiling to bring indoor comfort outdoors.
