Open Porch
Transitional Verandah, New York
The dramatic front support beam is a curved meranti glulam. The roof and front gable are natural cedar shakes, while the underlying arched rafters are cut from 2 x 12 and are supported by a 4 x 12 ridge beam. Two Craftsman-style columns with applied molding are employed as both structural and decorative components within the overall design scheme.
