Deck & Screened Porch with French Doors

A wood deck running alongside a screened porch, with French doors leading out, a retractable awning above and railings tying the two spaces together into one connected outdoor living area.

Connecting a deck, a screened porch and the house through a set of French doors turns three separate things into one outdoor room. The transitions — the doors, the railing lines, the levels — are where this kind of project is won or lost.
