This enclosed painted timber porch gives the entrance its own small space. Its glazing and timber framework form a transition between the outside and the original doorway.
Make the arrival work
Begin with movement. Consider how the outer and inner doors open, where someone can stand while opening them and whether there is space for the things you carry in each day. A simple plan can reveal awkward overlaps early.
Balance glazing and usable wall space
The amount of glass changes the character of a porch. More glazing opens up views; more solid joinery can provide a place for a bench or storage. The right arrangement depends on how the entrance is used.
Send photographs that include the existing door, surrounding wall and roof above. Tell us whether you need the timber joinery only or want to discuss the wider work involved.
