Stunning Modern Screen Porch by Flavin Architects: Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Connection
Project's Summary
A Modern Screen Porch Designed by Flavin Architects
Flavin Architects has recently completed a stunning modern screen porch that beautifully connects a Wellesley home to its garden. The project extends overhangs that are clad in red cedar to emphasize the indoor-outdoor connection while keeping direct sun out of the interior. The grey granite floor pavers seamlessly extend from the inside to the outside, creating a smooth transition between the two spaces.
Custom Designed Steel Truss with Stainless Steel Cable Supports
One of the most striking features of this modern screen porch is the custom-designed steel truss with stainless steel cable supports that hold up the roof. The truss is a statement piece that adds a modern touch to the porch, while the cable supports give the structure a light and airy feel. This unique design element not only serves a functional purpose but also adds to the overall aesthetic of the space.
Black Nylon Insect Screen for Maximum Transparency
To keep insects out while maximizing transparency, the modern screen porch features a black nylon insect screen. This choice of material is perfect for the project as it blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment while providing an unobstructed view of the garden. The screen also allows natural light to flood the space, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
Collaboration with Landscape Architect and Interior Designer
Flavin Architects collaborated with landscape architect Peter White of Zen Associates and interior designer Christine Tuttle to create this stunning modern screen porch. This collaboration ensured that the design of the porch perfectly complemented the surrounding landscape while also creating an inviting and comfortable interior space. The result is a seamless transition between the indoors and outdoors, creating a space that can be enjoyed year-round.
In conclusion, Flavin Architects has once again created a stunning modern design that beautifully connects a home to its garden. This modern screen porch is a testament to the studio's commitment to creating functional and beautiful spaces that perfectly complement their surroundings.
