Task - A large renovation project which converted the simple ranch house deck to an expansive enclosed porch including storage cabinets, and space enough for both office and rec room. The eye is drawn to roof lines of the house and garage, separate buildings, which sit at conflicting pitch to one another other.
An expanded, enclosed porch has windows on all sides for natural light and cross ventilation, and adds a full third more living space to the home. A mud room is built to connect house and garage; a remarkable roof design joins together these previously separate buildings creating a striking gabled front entry with cultured stone and brick accent facade. - Mystic Ranch, OR
