The client had an expansive back yard with only a lower level patio to be outside. They wanted a porch with a fireplace that they could enjoy a better view year-round. The original concrete patio was ugly and needed to go. We designed a screen porch with a small deck for grilling and covered the patio with flagstone and build a seat height wall to separate the patio from the driveway and provide a nicer area to entertain. Skylights allow light to continue to come into the kitchen. The owner retrofitted storm windows to allow for year comfort.
