This design, a confluence of Asian and Arts and Crafts aesthetics, took first place in the Open Porch category of the 2016 NADRA National Deck Competition. It is the perfect spot under which to relax and enjoy the outdoors without any interference from the elements.
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.
