Harrod's Creek Idea House: Back Porch

Covered porches and terraces encompass this house. You can enjoy outdoor spaces at every turn. "The long porches go back to the early ranch houses. They shade the house, and the doors can be opened even if it's raining," says architect Mark Carlson. "The overall design was positioned to catch breezes," adds builder Michael Deane.
