Open or Enclosed?

• Open Design Breezeway
• In areas of the country where the climate is
  warm most of the year, an open design would work
  well and could save money.

Open or Enclosed?

• Enclosed Design Breezeway
• This design will allow you to utilize the area
  as patio space during cooler spring and fall
  weather. It can also provide much-needed
  protection from the harsh winter climate.

Function

• If you would like to use the breezeway as a "mud
  room" to store boots, shoes, jackets, and other
  outdoor supplies, an ENCLOSED DESIGN BREEZEWAY
  would work best.
• An ENCLOSED DESIGN BREEZEWAY would also work
  best as a play area for kids - talking about
  better security ang safety

Achitectural Considerations

• Consider hiring a builder or Contractor
• Building Codes and Regulations (depends on where
  you live)
• Electricity, lighting and outlets.
• For additional features like water fountains, you
  might also consider hiring a PLUMBER.
• Deciding these needs in the early planning
  stages of the project will make everything
  easier.

  in a style that is complementary to the overall
  appearance of the house.
