Breezy and Bug-Free Modern Porches (23 photos)

Austin, Texas

The previous two designs could be seen as additive, meaning each porch is an extension of the rest of the house’s form. In this house, by Furman + Keil Architects, the screened-in porch is subtractive, since it sits under the roof it shares with the living spaces to the right and beyond.


To see it as subtractive, think of the plan as a rectangle and the porch as occupying one quadrant of it, instead of projecting beyond it on the end.
