The brief
The house had a plain front door with no cover and a low boundary that did nothing to define the plot. The owners wanted a porch that looked like it had always been there, and a frontage that matched it.
What we did
The porch is a green oak frame — cut, jointed and pegged rather than screwed together — sitting on brick piers built off new footings. It carries a tiled canopy roof that ties into the existing roofline. Along the boundary we built brick piers with rendered infill panels, and hung a pair of timber gates across the drive.
The result
Oak silvers as it weathers, so the frame will keep changing for the first few years and then settle. The lighting under the canopy makes the whole frontage read differently after dark.
