Country Ranch Transformation
The front of this home was set back a considerable distance from the front of the garage. The lack of a front porch caused the front door to feel inaccessibly recessed, and there was no occupiable space at the front of the home. After providing many different design iterations of the front porch, and weighing the pros and cons, the clients decided upon a shed roof with a new railing system and stone/wood columns. The addition of the front porch moved the front of the home forward, minimizing the look of the garage extrusion.
