Stunning Outdoor Remodel in the heart of Kingstown, Alexandria, VA 22310. Michael Nash Design Build & Homes created a new stunning screen porch with dramatic color tones, a rustic country style furniture setting, a new fireplace, and entertainment space for large sporting event or family gatherings. The old window from the dining room was converted into French doors to allow better flow in and out of home. Wood looking porcelain tile compliments the stone wall of the fireplace. A double stacked fireplace was installed with a ventless stainless unit inside of screen porch and wood burning fireplace just below in the stoned patio area. A big screen TV was mounted over the mantel. Beaded panel ceiling covered the tall cathedral ceiling, lots of lights, craftsman style ceiling fan and hanging lights complimenting the wicked furniture has set this screen porch area above any project in its class. Just outside of the screen area is the Trex covered deck with a pergola given them a grilling and outdoor seating space. Through a set of wrapped around staircase the upper deck now is connected with the magnificent Lower patio area. All covered in flagstone and stone retaining wall, shows the outdoor entertaining option in the lower level just outside of the basement French doors. Hanging out in this relaxing porch the family and friends enjoy the stunning view of their wooded backyard. The ambiance of this screen porch area is just stunning.

Una nueva obra que se llevó a cabo en la zona norte de Madrid y para la cual teníamos un objetivo claro: la unión de interior con el exterior. Es decir, modificar los espacios de tal manera que no destacase la habitual diferencia en el tramo que discurre entre estas dos zonas del hogar. Lo primero que se hizo para conseguir este efecto fue seleccionar los materiales, tales como el pavimento porcelánico, que se incluyó haciendo un símil con la madera en tonos claros y que continúa desde el porche al mismo nivel que la vivienda. Este tipo de material destaca por su resistencia y durabilidad, unas características perfectas para un suelo de exterior, pero también para el interior. Otro de los elementos fundamentales en esta obra es la integración de los recursos ya existentes tales como la piscina. En este caso, se adecuó a las necesidades del nuevo espacio, modificando todo el brocal y la zona de solárium para que así quedara en armonía con el resto del jardín. Además, se incluyó una cascada enmarcada en un elemento de hierro oxidado que combina a la perfección con el resto de maceteras. La elección de los colores tampoco fue al azar. Había que ampliar visualmente una zona muy pequeña, por lo que nos decantamos por los tonos claros de los muebles que ocupaban el espacio. Además, para minimizar el efecto visual del ladrillo del perímetro, se empleó un monocapa en tonos suaves. Por último, cabe destacar la elección de la vegetación. Para esta se seleccionaron únicamente especies perennes con el objetivo de tener verde a lo largo de todo el año y disminuir así el efecto construcción, que está muy cerca al ser el espacio de escasas dimensiones. Además, las plantas tienen toques exóticos como la drácena, y arbustos de pequeño tamaño como Pittosporum tobira. En este caso hemos prescindido de ejemplares de gran porte debido al reducido tamaño del jardín.

Abbiamo riportato il chiostro di questo Podere agli antichi fasti. I precedenti proprietari l'avevano adibito a cucinotto in veranda ad uso turistico. Ora l'ingresso principale è ben evidenziato dal portoncino in legno. Mentre la grande vetrata in corten e vetro dà l'accesso ad dependance del Podere, un piccolo appartamento ad uso foresteria. Abbiamo realizzato una pergola in ferro corten per permettere al glicine di creare un cortile ombreggiato. La pavimentazione è per metà in cotto fatto a mano dalle fornaci locali (SI) e l'altra parte in breccino grigio. I vasi di terra cotta sono d'artigianato locale.

Veranda with Feature Lighting and a Pergola Ideas and Designs

While they may not be as large as their US equivalents, in the UK and Ireland verandas, pergolas, porches and porticos are still handy little halfway houses between your driveway and your front door or your garden and your back door. Verandas are structures that cover an area next to your house, usually over a patio or decked area at the back as part of your garden, and they offer a sheltered outdoor space that you can enjoy all year round. Pergolas are usually separate from your house but offer basic cover for outdoor dining or simply relaxing. Porches can either give you shelter from the rain (perhaps as you find your keys at the front door) in the form of a basic, open porch canopy structure, or be built out into a small room or vestibule where you can remove and store coats, shoes and umbrellas. Porticos fall into the former category of porch design but are much grander than regular porches, usually with colonnades at either side of the door supporting the porch roof and giving a regal touch to the exterior of your home. If you think your home could benefit from a sheltered outdoor structure, either for dining outside or just taking your coat and boots off as you enter your house, take a look at the porch, portico and veranda ideas, designs and photos from homeowners and designers to take inspiration.

How do I choose a veranda design?

Glass verandas are one of the most common veranda designs because they let in light, offer slight shade and still protect from the elements, while wooden verandas are also popular due to their traditional-looking style. If your garden and house exterior are styled classically then a wooden veranda or pergola may be the way to go and you may want to consider tiling the roof of the veranda with the same type of tiles you have on your main roof, so everything ties in neatly. Wrought iron and glass verandas can also look classic in their style, appearing almost Victorian, and if you have dark framed windows or other ironwork in your garden or home, this style of veranda could work nicely. Metal and glass verandas would better suit contemporary tastes, and if you don't want the normal pitched roof style, look at flat roofs and verandas and pergolas in unique shapes and designs. You can choose to have either a supported veranda with posts, similar to a pergola structure, or a cantilever veranda that protrudes from a wall of your house without support via posts to the ground. Obviously if you want more space under your veranda then a cantilever veranda is the way to go, but the look of cantilevers is not always to everyone's taste. Otherwise you may only need posts at each end that won't have to be large and in the way if you need the room.

How do I choose a new porch?

Think about what you want from your porch – if, for example, your front door opens straight into your living room, you may want the added privacy of an enclosed porch rather than a portico-style covering. Appearance is, of course, all-important; the front of your house, after all, creates the first impression of your home. uPVC porches are great for insulation, but they may not look as good aesthetically. It’s important that your porch design fits in with that of your house, so keep brickwork and materials similar or complementary. Front doors provide a wonderful opportunity for dressing your house – embrace colour and gloss, and add attractive embellishments with door knockers, letter boxes and wall lights. But don’t just take our word for it; take a look around for inspiration. Once you’ve decided which type and material of porch or portico would suit your house – whether it’s a brick, glass or an oak porch, you can now focus on the design and have a look at some great porch ideas from other Houzz users. Find images of traditional wooden porches that give a warmly welcome, large glass porch extensions that dramatically change home exteriors, and pictures of stone front porches and porticos.

Will I need planning permission for my veranda, pergola, porch or portico?

Usually verandas will need planning permission as they are not classed as permitted development under Class A, but there are exceptions, so check with your local planning authority first. Provided that your porch or portico follows the stipulated guidelines, it will be exempt from planning permission and building regulation approvals. Ensure that the external floor area of the porch is within three square metres and that its height does not exceed three metres. Finally, the furthest edge of the porch should not go beyond two metres of any boundary of the house and the road. If the porch or portico you want is bigger than these dimensions, make your life easier by employing a builder or porch specialist who will handle the planning and building regulations for you. Pergolas, as garden structure, also do not need planning permission as long as they adhere to standard regulations, but again, check online or with a professional before building one.
