wraparound porches
Home's exterior corridor
Wraparound porches are covered outdoor platforms that extend along two or more sides of a house, typically wrapping around a corner.
Associated with Victorian and Southern American architecture, they provide shade and outdoor living space: The old farmhouse had a wraparound porch with rocking chairs.
The design evokes nostalgia for slower-paced rural life.
