2011 NARI CAPITAL COTY FINALIST AWARD WINNER
This Cape Cod home located in Great Falls, VA, was in need of a major face lift. The front elevation had no defining character. Because the homeowners have three young active boys, their outdoor living space is important. They wanted to be able to have a porch to relax on while watching over the kids, have them hold a camp fire outdoors, and be able to entertain on the new side patio. Also the home’s entrance needed to be much more appealing.
The new design included a new front covered porch made out of solid concrete walls with crawl space underneath for shed storage. Entire walls, floor, steps and walkway were done in flagstone. The half columns and patio with its retaining walls were also done in the same flagstone.
The entire front face of old home was demolished. Then a 10’x30’ covered porch was framed-up to match the existing front elevation. Matching siding and roofing tied this look together. The front entrance was widened and includes a new mahogany door with leaded glass. A new bow window was added to bring more daylight into living room.
Inside, a new kitchen with blond cabinetry, dark granite counters and rich wood floors has become a central gathering place. New stainless steel appliances, including a range hood, form a highly efficient work triangle. A tile backsplash and recessed lighting complete the redesign.
The Arts & Crafts front porch with wide columns and railing, beaded ceiling panel, embedded lighting and ceiling fan made the front appearance a delightful place for the family to hang out. Implementing this front porch into the existing flat front Cape Cod had a major impact on the total appearance of this home. Now it looks like a brand new home has been added to the neighborhood.

2,765 Sq Ft Main Floor Master Home.
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. The Shoal Creek contains a mixture of classic Craftsman design features - like the stone porch columns and stone fireplace - and modern finishes, such as the kitchen pendant lights.

Mid-sized classic brick front porch idea in Atlanta with a roof extension

This beautiful new construction craftsman-style home had the typical builder's grade front porch with wood deck board flooring and painted wood steps. Also, there was a large unpainted wood board across the bottom front, and an opening remained that was large enough to be used as a crawl space underneath the porch which quickly became home to unwanted critters.
In order to beautify this space, we removed the wood deck boards and installed the proper floor joists. Atop the joists, we also added a permeable paver system. This is very important as this system not only serves as necessary support for the natural stone pavers but would also firmly hold the sand being used as grout between the pavers.
In addition, we installed matching brick across the bottom front of the porch to fill in the crawl space and painted the wood board to match hand rails and columns.
Next, we replaced the original wood steps by building new concrete steps faced with matching brick and topped with natural stone pavers.
Finally, we added new hand rails and cemented the posts on top of the steps for added stability.
WOW...not only was the outcome a gorgeous transformation but the front porch overall is now much more sturdy and safe!

This project was a Guest House for a long time Battle Associates Client. Smaller, smaller, smaller the owners kept saying about the guest cottage right on the water's edge. The result was an intimate, almost diminutive, two bedroom cottage for extended family visitors. White beadboard interiors and natural wood structure keep the house light and airy. The fold-away door to the screen porch allows the space to flow beautifully.

This project at 703 South Grand Avenue involves the redesign and rebuilding of the homes crumbling front porch.
See the project video here: https://youtu.be/6lIf19XYYvk
The scope of work will be to remove the porches existing concrete foundation, concrete slab surface, two sets of concrete steps, and 3 steel roof support columns. Other than replacing the wood shingles to match, the existing roof structure will remain un-touched.
The porch roof will be supported with a new concrete foundation wall, Craftsman style columns and a low lap siding railing wall. The siding, color scheme, and trim details will be in character with the existing home. This new porch will be accessed with wood steps from both the front street side and the south driveway side.
The new design is primarily focused on matching the character of the existing 2 story home, yet upgrading it visually in a way that is harmonious with this South Bozeman neighborhood’s historic character.

We don’t often do front porches but when we do they turn out like this! Spanning the face of the porch
adjacent to sections of Key-Link railing there are six strong stone columns that reach all the way to
ground to reinforce a sense of strength. On ether side of the steps is a sitting area affixed with a fan
overhead. This project is a wonderful way to start your day off; enjoying a cup of coffee and the morning
light.
