This Feature-Rich Deck And Screened Porch With A Mudroom In East Nashville Is Truly Custom
Of all the screened porches we have designed and built of late, this one in East Nashville stands out for the many nuances that make it truly unique.
Private Dining Off To The Side
Away from main screened porch space, and the family’s comings and goings via the two wood Sapele doors adjacent to it, off to the side, the design of this porch lent itself to create a quaint little nook with built-in bench seating, a spot that offers two great views of the rear landscape. The L-shaped design easily accommodates 8 adults.
Wood Is The Word For This Active Family
There had been a small, covered area on the back of this home. So, for the new, larger outdoor project, the homeowners decided to go with the flow of using pressure-treated deck boards on both the screen porch as well as the uncovered open area. The deck makes the most of the view by using a cable railing system all around and down the stairs.
This project highlights how to use a low beadboard wall with 2 rows of cable rail to meet the code’s requirements.
To make the transition to the ground level, a wide step-down landing was added at the PorchCo double doors for better traffic flow and to strengthen the integrity of the design plan.
A Custom Mud Room With Cubbies For Sports Accessories – Inside A Screened Porch
Making the most of what existed, we added a wall to create a mudroom, taking a portion of the old porch and enclosing it, giving the family yet another way to easily enter and exit the home.
There are active families, and then there is this one. To have sporting gear and equipment easily in hand as they head outdoors via the backyard, we designed and built this multifunctional cubbie mudroom enclosure. Like we say, if you can envision it, we can build it.
To obscure the mudroom when entering the porch, we used a standard door and added frosted glass film.
Natural Sources Of Light Highlight The Space
To add light to the space, and add light in the office directly behind the mudroom, we added high transom windows in the mudroom up to the ceiling.
The flat ceiling area that you see was the original porch area before we modified the design and started fresh.
With plenty of room for dining and lounging on this porch, the pressure-treated decking underfoot adds a beautifully natural, rustic character to the space, which is reflected in the open, exposed rafter ceiling, stained to match the wood Sapele doors.
