Sylvan Setting - Homeowners in Bethesda tapped FineCraft Contractors, Inc., to build a screened porch on the back of their house that would allow them to enjoy its secluded, wooded backdrop.

A rustic structure, designed by Soe Lin Architects, feels like a natural extension of the forested property.

• The sloped lot drops off at the back, so the porch had to be elevated, conjuring the sensibility of a treehouse.
• The steel-and-wood structure complements the sylvan setting.
• The slanted roof supported by steel columns and beams imparts the feel of a cabin; a wood-burning fireplace framed in wood offers a focal point.
• The porch opens into an inviting living area, complete with walls of books and a paneled fireplace wall.
