Porches provide transition space from indoors to outdoors. Protected from sun, rain and insects but open to fresh air, a porch is an outdoor room where you can escape your electronic devices if you wish. It can be a special place to enjoy a book or quiet conversation with a background sound of bird calls or wind or rain sifting through the leaves.
Including a stone fireplace in the design means you will experience that space in a completely different way once the weather turns cold: Is there anyone who wouldn’t enjoy cozying up to a crackling fire on brisk autumn afternoon?
