The Porch Company Designs And Builds A Gracious Screened Porch In Nashville’s Historic Richland Central
Established in 1905, the Richland Central area of Nashville, TN, features historic homes brimming with architectural beauty and charm.
To increase the outdoor living possibilities for this family, we added a screened porch to the back of their lovely home– which complements the original side porch the homeowners had been enjoying for years.
Two Decks With Screened Door Access For Functional Convenient Outdoor Living
Our custom designed scheme includes double doors on both sides of the new porch, one leading into the home and the other leading into the existing side porch.
Due to the configuration of this Colonial Revival style home, a foyer was designed to allow entry to the porch. To the left you enter the porch and straight ahead you can enter the home. The cabin-like aesthetic was achieved with a rich selection of building materials.
For additional storage and to display favorite keepsakes, we gave the foyer space versatility by creating shelving as a “drop zone” as you enter the home.
Inside the screened room, the interior features tongue and groove cypress flooring with its intricate striations and tonal Earth colors. The structural wood rafters above it all were crafted from yellow pine with spruce sheathing.
The open rafter ceiling interior of this home improvement project features meticulously placed lighting to enhance the details at night. The new stacked stone fireplace will be a gathering spot in cooler months, with a wood mantel, waiting to be decorated.
Low Maintenance Decks Create A Harmonious Flow For This Outdoor Living Porch
To ensure that the exterior of this new space was as low maintenance as possible, we often suggest AZEK brand composite products to the homeowner.
Consistently recognized as the market leader in innovation, quality and aesthetics, AZEK’s portfolio is made from up to approximately 90% recycled material. A favorite choice to replace wood on the outside of our Nashville area porches, AZEK features the ideal combination of long-lasting durability, great looks, and a stylish solution for carefree outdoor leisure and entertaining.
For greater exterior utility, we added a nook for the homeowner’s outdoor grill, as well as an access door for dry storage under the addition.
Keeping in mind the importance of low maintenance outdoor construction, we chose TimberTech railings used with The Porch Store’s Picket Panel PVC railing. Another strategic use of The Porch Store’s materials is the Hermitage Sleeves and Caps, which bring the look of painted wood with this low maintenance product that will never rot.
A New Outdoor Dining Room And A New Outdoor Living Space All In One Design
Designed to be many things for this Richland Central family, the roomy interior space accommodates dining, lounging, and entertaining.
The homeowners were clear from the beginning they wanted a wood burning fireplace with a Porch Store hand hewn mantel. This hand-hewn mantel, made from pine, was tastefully distressed for that classic rustic look. Each is a unique creation and gives this porch the beautiful focal point it deserves.
