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!

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.
