Zilker Porch: Outdoor Living Addition in Austin
A purpose-built porch addition in Zilker that turns a back yard into the home's most-used room for most of the year.
Outdoor living rooms are central to how Austinites use their homes, and this Zilker porch was designed to be that room, covered, shaded, comfortable in summer, and warm in winter. The addition is detailed to feel like part of the original house rather than an afterthought, with structure, materials, and ceiling height that tie into the adjacent interior spaces.
"The porch has become the room we use the most, easily ten months of the year. Carolyn paid the same attention to it as she would have to a much bigger project, and it shows."
