Dunwoody – Inside/Out Porch Addition

The Project Goal or Objective:

The client’s expansive backyard was the perfect space to enjoy the outdoors; unfortunately, they only had an ugly concrete patio to entertain on. They were looking for a large porch with a fireplace so they could enjoy and entertain all year-round.

Solution:

We designed a screened-in porch with an additional small deck, covered with flagstone, for grilling. A seat high wall was also built to separate the patio from the driveway and provide a nicer area to entertain. In addition, skylights continuously allow for light to flood into the kitchen and the owner had retrofitted storm windows to allow for year round comfort.

Details:

• Stainless Steel Fireplace
• Pine tongue & groove flooring
• Beadboard Ceiling
• Velux skylights
• Composite decking with aluminum balusters
• French Sliding glass door to kitchen
• Lower level vented sidelight door unit
• Louvered skirt around bottom of porch

Summary:

This new porch and grilling deck takes the old, ugly, and outdated concrete patio to a new level and gives the client the ability to comfortably entertain guests all year-round. The client can now use their expansive backyard to its full potential.
