Krishna Screened Porch

Krishna Family Screened Porch

Project Type: Residential Screened Porch Addition

Client: Krishna Family

Investment Range: $50,000 - $100,000

Project Overview

For the Krishna family, the goal was simple but meaningful: create a space where the indoors could gently open to the outdoors — without sacrificing comfort, usability, or craftsmanship. This screened porch was designed as a seamless extension of the home, offering a peaceful retreat that could be enjoyed year-round while overlooking the surrounding natural landscape.

Positioned off the rear of the home and elevated to match the existing structure, the porch feels intentional — not added on, but thoughtfully built in.

Scope of Work

This project involved the design and construction of a fully screened, elevated porch integrated into the home’s existing architecture. Key elements included:

- Structural framing and support suitable for an elevated installation

- Composite decking for durability and low maintenance

- Custom wood ceiling with tongue-and-groove finish

- Integrated screening system to preserve views while providing protection

- Electrical rough-ins for ceiling fans and lighting

- Exterior stair access and railing systems

- Fireplace feature wall for warmth and year-round usability

- Construction Highlights

Structural Integrity & Elevation:

Building an elevated screened porch requires careful planning to ensure proper load distribution and long-term stability. The porch was anchored with reinforced posts and beams, allowing it to safely support daily use while aligning cleanly with the home’s existing footprint.

Natural Materials & Warm Finishes:

The stained wood ceiling adds warmth and visual depth, drawing the eye upward and creating a cozy, lodge-like atmosphere. Paired with the clean lines of the screened panels, the space balances rustic charm with modern craftsmanship.

Indoor Comfort, Outdoor Experience:

The screened enclosure allows fresh air and natural light to flow freely while keeping insects and debris out. Ceiling fans were installed to improve airflow during warmer months, making the space comfortable even on hot Georgia afternoons.

Year-Round Use:

The addition of a fireplace transforms the porch into a four-season living area. Whether it’s a crisp fall evening or a cool winter morning, the space remains inviting — extending the family’s living area well beyond the home’s interior walls.

The Result

The finished screened porch is more than an outdoor room — it’s a gathering place. A space for quiet mornings, family conversations, and evenings spent watching the seasons change. By blending thoughtful construction practices with quality materials and attention to detail, this project delivers both function and feeling.

For the Krishna family, the porch now serves as a daily reminder that well-built spaces don’t just add square footage — they enhance the way people live.
