Welcome Your Neighbors with Arcadia Front Porch Makeover
Greg Woods • June 14, 2024
The Arcadia neighborhood in Phoenix is heavily characterized by the large presence of welcoming front porches, decks, and patios. We think Arcadia does it right by creating an unmistakable sense of community by greeting neighbors and passers-by and inevitably creating a close knit neighborhood. This simple yet elegant renovation gives the homeowner a relaxation/entertainment space featuring a low enclosure fence that is defining yet welcoming. By adding a fireplace feature and some iconic Arcadia colors and lighting, a homeowner can experience a surge in property value, connect with their community and enjoy the outdoor living Phoenix has become famous for. As we travel, we see this popular renovation giving a significant facelift to traditional style homes in other areas of the country as well. Although this is technically not adding square footage, it will feel like it when you are hosting guests.
Covered Outdoor Ramada perfect for Entertaining and Winding Down...
It was a pleasure working on the renovation for this hardworking family who now can enjoy their apres-ski in style. You can't get better than being on the slopes in this amazing Colorado ski country and this property will now provide a more functional and beautiful space to enjoy their down time. Take note of this efficient kitchen design that provides ample cooking and sitting space and the master bedroom redesign which allows the homeowners which invites the outside in. There is something very peaceful about relaxing with a glass of wine or hot tea and watching the skiers come down the runs.
The welcoming warmth of the arcadia style never gets old. It is clean, yet warm and welcoming. This outdoor space complete with new gas fireplace facilitates casual quality-time family gatherings, evening relaxation and an opportunity to bring community back to busy neighborhoods as passers by say hello and engage in conversation. Good design should not only be visually appealing but it should reflect the personality of the homeowner, increase property value, and improve quality of life by providing space that encourage social engagement and relaxation.
