the new kitchen needed a new porch.
the following is a set of 'sketches' that investigates one element at a time--a 'defining entry' element, the extension of the deck, the stair to grade, the handrails, the handrails above, access to the basement, a table making use of the existing tree stump, additional storage--all of which could be eliminated or accomplished in a different way. it is not a self-explanatory presentation, that is, the sketches promote discussion which is carried out face to face.

this is where we finally landed. again, the presentation allows for discussion of each element. by annotating each sketch, i can email it ahead so we can have a solid discussion when we meet.
and it's under way....
a facade study
a simple porch study
a less simple study
