Bow House
A key feature in the home’s energy efficiency is the use of the sun. Architect Christopher Briley designed the roof cutouts in the south-facing porch to capture the sun’s rays but angled them to let in the warm winter sun (which is lower in the sky) while blocking the hot, penetrating summer sun (which is higher in the sky).

Covered porch but see through? Gets dirty? How to clean

Porch roof with skylights. Probably overkill.

Possible fence barrier for second level patio. Alternative modern columns

Porch railing, overhang with skylights, black window trim and columns, pot lights around perimeter

Porch depth, angle of skylights allowing lots of light and passive solar in the winter.

Nice long covered space. Don't like the decking. Description of thinking behind angling of "cutouts" is smart.
