Cherry Creek porch enclosure

An open porch became a conditioned-ready sunroom frame, with the original columns saved and sistered.

The constraint

The 1950s columns were decorative. The new roof load needed a real post inside each one.

Outcome

The porch still looks like the original elevation, and it is ready for glass without a second frame.

Scope

  1. 01Sistered posts hidden inside the existing column wraps
  2. 02New roof framing and a cricket against the second floor
  3. 03Window package openings framed for Glassline
  4. 04Siding returns that die into the original brick
