7thStudio Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Wondering how best to go about adding this roof detail with window transom that opens up the front porch. I was thinking a floating dormer but it isn't liking the roof pitches. Not sure if anyone has done this detail before that can help! Thanks!

JiAngelo Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Divide your front porch into 3 rooms, middle room is ~7'- 8' wide, no roof. Assuming 9' ceilings default, make your foyer 12' ceilings and you will be fairly close to your chief elevation. Use a moulding line to connect the front facia & gutters of porch 1 & 3. The roof returns to the front door don't appear to have gutters - might be wrong here. To match your photo, the foyer is really ~11-12' wide inside. 2' wider in either direction from the entry door. That will give you the proper massing. Goodluck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
