Screened Porch for A Pandemic

The homeowner is a naturalist and nature-educator, and wanted the screen porch addition to feel like being in the forest. This concept led to finish decisions: wide expanses of screen, wall framing to blend in with the existing house, and a finished ceiling using fir framing and beadboard. The ridge height is 14-ft, a dimension that reflects the various lines of the existing split-level house, and determined heights for transom, railings, and eave details.
