Porch roof design

This probably should be called an archway or gateway instead of a porch roof. It's hardly a porch. The intention is to create a better transition going in at the main entrance, which is a fundamental aspect of good architecture. Yet it's sadly missing in this house. Currently it's just an L-corner.

This final design, a long horizontal span in front of the garage, seems to be the best "bang for the buck" while staying with the building's original height, shape and mass.
