The challenge of this project was to seamlessly add a new porch to the already complicated form of this Tudor style house. The design respects the existing style of the house while blending into the existing roof forms. The vaulted ceiling and exposed trusses add some drama and detail to the space while giving it a more open feel. The custom truss and bracket designs are derived from the Tudor style. The project was featured in the book “House Transformed” by Matthew Schoenherr.
