A Look At Two New Porches In East Nashville & Germantown, Custom Designed And Built By The Porch Company

Inside the transitional neighborhoods known as East Nashville and Germantown, charm and architectural features are highlights in the up and coming areas.

From Craftsman Bungalows and Mid-Century Modern to Colonial Revival and Contemporary, the variety of these house styles are intermingled within this beautifully diverse area that celebrates the history, art, music and culinary scene within these Tennessee hot spots.

A Look At Custom Porch Project #1 In Germantown

For an overview of our first Germantown custom porch – we’ll refer to it as Custom Porch Project #1 – it was designed with a flat roof ceiling to fit the house style, featuring large stained rafters, a white ceiling and heaters.

For this custom porch project, there was an upstairs balcony that our porch design team eliminated, changing out the balcony door to a window. We did this to raise the roof to get more height in the new ground level porch.

On the Custom Porch Project #1 home, there were existing garage doors going out to the original deck area from their living room. In the new design, transom windows were installed above the garage doors to bring natural light into the house. Another trick to capture as much natural sunlight as possible, we installed skylights for even more light to gently filter into the home.

Over on the right where there was once a side door, we created a new door to the porch back inside, and we built cubbies to create a little mudroom space, a perfect entry and exit point for this active East Nashville couple.

Inside Our Custom Porch Project #2 In East Nashville

Our East Nashville custom design we will refer to as Custom Porch Project #2.  Unlike Custom Porch Project #1, this porch features Cypress Floors instead of the Thermally Modified Wood Porch Flooring  installed in Custom Porch Project #1.

Both porches are low to the ground, and both created some challenges in tying the new porches into the respective existing homes.

With this Custom Porch Project #2, the step-down area, into the back yard, was designed to house the outdoor kitchen.  Stunning blue cabinets hold a grill, a griddle top as well as the green table top pizza oven. Entertaining and outdoor eating was high on the ‘must have’ list for this couple.

The home for Custom Porch Project #2 is a ranch house and at a right angle to it there is the family’s carport creating an “L” shape. Our new porch design connects the carport to the house. There is a single screen door from the carport into the porch and new French doors from the kitchen to the porch providing many ways to access the backyard. Convenience all around with this custom East Nashville porch design by The Porch Company.

The porch nicely connects the carport to the house. Our porch construction team added an extended jam on the French doors so they now can open all the way back against the brick to open up the space into the kitchen.

A cool design feature is the unique mid-century breeze block in the carport and backyard. We complemented this by mimicking the pattern of the breeze block at the bottom of the screened door.

Two Custom Porches With One Great Designer & Porch Builder In Common – The Porch Company

Both porches have the same experiential feel and leisure lifestyle sensibility. One was done on a mid-century remodeled ranch style home; the other one was on a tall and skinny new build that is commonly found all around Nashville. Despite their unique architectural style differences, both have a modern farmhouse vibe – a Porch Company trademark.

This Porch Company Screened Porch In East Nashville Is Elegance Personified!

This newest East Nashville screened porch design checks all the boxes for beauty, charm, creativity, and functional layout.

This classic white screened porch features the architectural highlight of a crisscross transom design at the top of the gable roof. It is interesting to note that the newly built gable porch roof is higher than the roof of the house itself. Notice the niche on the outer right deck area. That recess accommodates a creative solution so that falling rainwater does not interfere with the screened wall panel. Instead, the water is diverted and routed into the black-accent-painted gutter and drainpipe – a practical solution to thwart moisture issues down the road.

A Splinter-Free Wood Handrail Features An AZEK Low Maintenance PVC Rail Cover Top

Knowing that this beautiful porch design will accommodate much in and out traffic over the years to come, and to ensure that hands touching the railing top would not be exposed to wood splinters over time, the top of the rail is durable, low maintenance AZEK decking material.  As you can see, the staircase is positioned for a choice – front yard or back yard?

A Multi-Functional Interior, Richly Appointed, Accented By Dark Wood Tones Balanced By White

The handsome wood rafter beams on the inside of this screen porch are stained using a dark color, which accompanies the dark cypress flooring.

Surrounded by white walls, area rugs and comfortable white upholstered seating furniture, it’s an environment that the homeowner now enjoys daily – and is one that neighbors and visiting guests won’t soon forget.  The sunlight that filters through the mesh screens casts a warm and dappled glow across the space. 

That Much Sought-After Touch Of Black To Complete The Design In The Chandelier, Ceiling Fans And Coach Lights

The breathtaking antique chandelier, the homeowner’s first purchase for her project, in black with luminescent accents of gold, takes center stage in the ceiling rafter design. Long-lasting LED chandelier bulbs provide adequate dimmable lighting for evening alfresco dining and casual nighttime leisure and conversation. Augmenting the lighting design are energy-efficient coach lights around the interior periphery of the custom screened porch.

A Touch Of Pink With A Purpose – By Design

The interior accent color scheme of painting the entry door back into the home is pink – inspired by the client’s brother who is an artist. The original floral lily close-up features rich red, pink, and green tones, to complement the backyard vista.

Behind it will soon rest a smart TV which will be camouflaged by the original artwork when the TV is not in use. The result is tasteful, smart, and very practical.
