Screened Porch Project Goals

When we began to plan the project, the clients began to envision a design inspired by the charm of a rustic log cabin. Even though this was not the style of their existing home, they wanted to create this cohesive feel that they could enjoy while in this space. This was achieved by utilizing all natural finishes and a post & beam structure with vaulted rafter construction. This was all stained a dark color to achieve the desired look and also to protect the material from the elements.

A vaulted ceiling with tongue-and-groove boards, reminiscent of classic mountain cabins, added to the authentic feel. To further emphasize the cabin atmosphere, the clients included a striking gas fireplace clad with a stone veneer. This feature anchors the porch and draws the eye immediately upon entering the space, perfectly embodying the warmth and character of a mountain lodge.
