This covered, open-air room has all the comforts and style of an indoor living space.

“This is our de-stress zone nearly year-round,” Prince says.
“We essentially doubled our home’s dining and living room space by adding it.”
Prince designed the midcentury modern-inspired structure with a shed roof that rises to 12 feet.
“It extends our views since the yard goes uphill,” she says.
A contractor perfected the pitch and added a roof cricket that directs water to gutters.
And though the space is mostly enclosed, the couple made sure to leave room for outdoor activities.
Once the construction process was finished, Prince got to work creating a cozy interior.
“The porch is happy and bright, with nature visible everywhere,” she says.
