2020 proved to be another award-winning year for The Porch Company.  Once again, a custom porch design has been recognized for a National Chrysalis Award. On the heels of this recognition, we thought we’d take a walk down memory lane to showcase our Chrysalis winning outdoor living designs.

While The Porch Company’s goal, first and foremost, is to build functional and luxurious outdoor living designs for our clients, this has often translated into award-winning designs.  By closely collaborating with each client to provide their ideal outdoor living space, The Porch Company excels in curating spaces that speak to clients’ design visions.  From custom ceiling designs to rustic stone fireplaces to our beautiful PorchCo outdoor living products, each of our porches becomes a showcase in its own right.

Fabulous porch design in Green Hills TN

The Porch Company has a storied Chrysalis award history

We have been the recipient of both the regional and national Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence, dating all the way back to 2000.  Since there are no requirements for a company to maintain affiliations, or be a member of any industry organizations, competition for the Chrysalis Awards is steep!  The Porch Company is proud of our winning history for excellence in our competitive industry.

2020 National Chrysalis Award Winning Screened Porch

This client’s 200-year-old Tennessee cabin set the perfect scene for a rustic screened porch design.  The Porch Company worked to ensure that stringent setback requirements were accommodated, and curated a space befitting a historic cabin.

The porch features a substantially-sized wood-burning fireplace for traditional appeal, along with installed radiant heating that brings the design into the 2020s.  This porch is a new iteration of porches of the past.

2019 Chrysalis Award Winning Front Porch

They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression.  Fortunately for these Bellevue TN clients, only one chance is required.  The Porch Company took this lackluster brick front stoup to a grand stone staircase that leads to a covered porch chock full of designer detailing.  From the curved porch roof and ceiling with pendant light, to the moulding and stately columns, and on down to the PorchCo PVC cathedral picket railing panels and Hermitage post sleeves and caps, nothing was left to the imagination in the overall design.  This Bellevue TN porch is a vision of all things welcoming and inviting, and it is clear to us to see how it became an award-winning porch!

2017 Regional Chrysalis Award Winning Screened Porch

It might be difficult to imagine that this project began with a collapsing deck.  The homeowner reached out to The Porch Company to replace their deck with a more functional outdoor living design.  Enter, this gorgeous screened porch. The porch features our Southern Cross Cross panel in the beautiful railing along with a beamed ceiling. These two details are among many of the stunning features of this screened porch design.

Not only is their second-story porch more usable than the deck that was there before it, but it is also low-maintenance.  The Porch Company also gave the homeowner a small grilling deck just outside the porch, so all outdoor living is now on the same level as their indoor living space.

2016 Regional Chrysalis Award Winning Porch & Deck

This 1912 Greek Revival home required special care and attention to bring its outdoor living into the new age.  The Porch Company used new synthetic materials with historic detailing, to give these homeowners a more usable space, as well as a space that no longer detracts from the home’s exterior aesthetic, like the deck that was there before it.

Inside, the porch is a marvel of modern porch details!  A vaulted lap ceiling covers the main living area, complete with a ceiling fan for cooling off.  The creamy white design aesthetic creates a space of calming respite and features modern sconce lighting mounted to the porch posts.  Above the porch entrance, we built a flat ceiling and finished it with a wood tongue and groove detail. Our classic Jackson railing panel makes an elegant statement in unison on the porch and deck.

2014 National Chrysalis Award Winning Screened Porch

These Porch Company clients longed for a protected space to complement their rural home’s rustic aesthetic.  This unique Nashville home features cedar shake siding, and we created a porch exterior that seamlessly extends from the original home by using natural wood porch framing and matching gable-inset roof line and shingles.  The new porch chimney even features a warm stone color, which furthers the cohesive color palette of the exterior.

Inside, we gave them a rustic-inspired screened porch with an open rafter ceiling and stacked stone porch fireplace with built-in TV storage – perfect for entertaining and relaxing privately.  Arts and crafts screen detailing and mounted sconce lighting complete this award-winning space.

2010 National Chrysalis Award Winning Outdoor Living Design

This all-encompassing backyard design began with a poorly draining yard and ended with new drainage, a natural stone poolside patio, covered pavilion, retaining wall, cooking station, and grand outdoor fireplace.  The patio was created with travertine tile, and the steps were built with limestone, both complementary materials to the gorgeous stone patio wall.

The outdoor sitting area features a wood-burning fireplace with wood storage and a grill station.  The poolside pavilion below offers protection from the elements and is perfectly staged for entertaining or relaxing in total privacy.  There is no end to the beauty and usability of the space, which extends the entire backyard expanse.

2006 Regional Chrysalis Award Winning Screened Porch

Even in the tight size constraints of this backyard space, these clients aspired to extraordinary outdoor living.  The Porch Company answered the call with a TV-free screened porch, built for true family connection.  The porch features a large stone fireplace, warm-stained cypress wood construction, including the gorgeous open rafter ceiling detail with installed up-lighting and ceiling fans for warm and cool air circulation.  This cozy space is an illustration of how The Porch Company can still create an impactful design, even with size limitations.

2001 Regional Chrysalis Award Winning Porch/Sunroom

The second of our Chrysalis Award recipients, this outdoor living design features a beautiful hip roof and all-wood framing with warm stain.  This porch has an Asian-inspired aesthetic, which will continue to age well even into the 2020s and beyond!

2000 Regional Chrysalis Award Winning Porch/Sunroom

The Porch Company built this outdoor living space to accommodate drainage, inconspicuously directing it away from the porch interior.  The slightly sloped porch floor runs parallel with the slope of the lot and included hidden drainage beneath the screen panels.  Tongue and groove applications were employed in this porch design, including the ceiling, floor, and screen panels.
