client goals
Priorities that guided the work
At All Star Construction, as luxury sunroom builders in Houston, TX, we believe every project begins with listening. Understanding what the homeowner values most guides design decisions and construction details. For this residence and its back porch in Houston, the goals were clear:
- A quiet area for relaxation.
- Generous daylight to create an open atmosphere.
- A seamless connection to the existing interior design.
The design needed to reflect these priorities in a way that felt natural to the home, and we're pleased to report that we hit the mark when it comes to achieving these goals.
Project Approach: Designing With Light and Connection
To meet the homeowners' vision, the Houston, TX custom porch enclosure design was centered on windows. Each wall was built out with custom casement and awning units, all operable and fitted with screens. The casements opened wide for ventilation, while the awnings could remain open during rain, allowing airflow without bringing the weather inside.
In the completed room, the windows frame every view of the yard, filling the space with steady light throughout the day.
The new entry was given equal attention by our team. A custom mahogany French door was installed, selected for its strength and natural finish. It provided an inviting transition point and reinforced the sense of permanence in the new room.

Details that anchor the project's design
The floor in this beautiful rear porch enclosure in Houston, TX, became a defining feature. Hexagon marble tile was laid with brass borders, and a perimeter inlay outlined the space with subtle detail. The result balanced refinement with durability. The finished floor gives the room a distinct character, and its reflective surface brightens the interior.
On the exterior, brick steps with a landing were added for a sturdy approach that tied into the architecture of the home. The brickwork connects the new enclosure to the home's traditional style and the character of the Heights neighborhood. Inside, new window casings were carefully matched to those throughout the house, making the sunroom feel like an integral part of the original design.
Challenges, Solutions, Highlights
Comfort that called for creativity
Introducing climate control to the space proved to be the most complex task with this Houston, TX, porch enclosure project. With walls of glass, temperature regulation required thoughtful planning. An exterior chase was constructed to carry ductwork from the attic on the second floor down to the new enclosure.
From there, ducts extended through an existing crawl space. This approach allowed the HVAC system to be added without disturbing other finished spaces in the home, while still keeping the new room comfortable year-round.
