Over the last few years, we have seen an explosion in popularity of she-sheds. As answers to man caves, she-sheds are often thought of spaces of respite and creative escapes for the lady of the house. Detached buildings are not necessarily the ideal answer, however.
Archadeck of Kansas City has many female clients, who are choosing to add custom screened porches to their homes. They are taking the idea of a screened porch and transforming it into their own escape, customizing it to suit their needs – enter the “posh porch” – our alliterative answer to the she-shed.
Screened porch design by Archadeck of Kansas City
The idea of a she-shed is to have an escape, but who says you must escape by actually leaving your home? Attached screened porches are far more usable spaces than detached buildings, often designated as she-sheds. Before you consider remodeling your forgotten detached garage to create your private space, call on Archadeck of Kansas City to discuss a custom screened porch.
Detached structures, like this garage, lack easy access
Archadeck of Kansas City can help custom design your posh screened porch, which will be connected to your home. This means that you never have to leave the house to get to your hideaway. Your screened porch can be connected to any area of your home, which has access to the exterior. We can place it just outside a common area of your home, or even from your private bedroom, creating a space that is easily accessed. And you won’t even have to put on shoes to get there!
Inviting posh screened porch with access via existing exterior doors
Your screened porch will have necessary electrical hook-ups for charging stations, lighting, ceiling fans, and even televisions. Don’t settle for an old shed in the recesses of your backyard, which doesn’t have electric, and would require an all-new installation.
We’ll extend your home’s electricity to your new porch
One of the biggest questions we receive from potential clients is, “Will my new screened porch make the inside of my home dark?” While the addition of a roofed structure to the exterior of your home will prohibit some sunlight entry, it will not be a blackout by any stretch of the imagination! On the flip side, if the interior of your home is flooded with sunlight during the warmest hours of the day, a screened porch can help reduce the greenhouse effect in sunlight-saturated rooms.
This home’s interior is still merry and bright, even with a screened porch
You can use your new screened porch for any activity or inactivity that you choose. Archadeck of Kansas City will discuss your lifestyle and hobbies to come up with a screened porch design that best accommodates your intended usage. Whether it’s a monthly book club meeting with friends, yoga and meditation, artistic endeavors, reading, or watching TV, we will create a porch design that can fulfill any or all – and much more!
Your screened porch will be custom-tailored to your every use
What’s more, Archadeck of Kansas City can give you ultimate use throughout the year by adding an outdoor fireplace to your screened porch. Not only will your porch be usable for all or part of three months in Kansas City, it will become a more relaxing and beautiful space by way of a custom fireplace as an ambient focal point.
