A DEEP PORCH OVER THE WATER.

PlaceLake LBJ, Texas
Coordinates30°36′N

StatusStudio project
Area3,100 sq ft
Limestone · Standing seam · The porch

One deep porch in limestone and standing seam, with cedar ceilings, a porch swing, and a boathouse beneath the same roof line.

Concept

A house on Lake LBJ organized around its porch. Limestone walls, a standing seam roof, and a porch deep enough to live on, extending over the water to the boathouse.

Structure

Limestone bearing walls with steel porch columns and a cedar-lined porch ceiling. The boathouse shares the roof, with a cedar screen and sliding steel doors to the water.

Challenge

A deep porch without dark rooms behind it. Living spaces sit along the porch edge, and the bedrooms behind take clerestory light.

Result

One long shaded room facing the lake, with the boat moored beneath the same roof as the swing.
