Lanai Extension in Marsh Creek

Lanai extensions for Marsh Creek homes: more covered living space that looks original to the house.

A lanai should hold a dining table, a sofa and maybe a kitchen. Many original lanais in Marsh Creek don't. We extend them with a roof that matches the house and a floor that runs from the old slab into the new space.

Marsh Creek Lanai Extension Ideas

Make room for a kitchen. A deeper lanai has room for an outdoor kitchen or bar.
Keep the light. Roof style chosen so the inside of the house doesn't go dark.
Screened extension. Extend the screen with the roof.
Roof attached to the house. The new roof meets the old one cleanly.

Lanai is a Hawaiian word for a roofed porch or veranda, and Merriam-Webster dates its first known use in English to 1823.

Before We Draw Your Marsh Creek Lanai Extension

Marsh Creek is built around an 18-hole golf course, with tennis, fitness, a pool and dining at the club. Golf-course lots in Marsh Creek are seen from the fairways, so the back of a project matters as much as the front. A roof facing the course is placed to keep the view open from inside.

The tie-in is everything. Amany looks at the existing lanai roof at the in-home visit to choose a roof style that meets it cleanly. Before we draw a lanai extension in Marsh Creek, we check whether the ceiling can carry through, where the floor seam would fall and how the new roof ties into the old one.

In Hawaii, a covered porch is simply called a lanai, Merriam-Webster notes, and the word has become a common term for covered outdoor living spaces.

Approvals and Permits in Marsh Creek
