Porch design and staircase location

zafrangul

Hi. I need some help, i want to build a porch of round shape in front of my house with a roof of TR & Girders. And also i don't find a place for stairs, can you please help me ?

Stairs should be in somewhere in red area, and green curve indicates the front boundary of porch. 

3d images are given.

I'll jump on this before others do - you should find a local architect in your area to help you.  It's great to have an idea of what you want - it's encouraged actually - but by coming here to ask for FREE help, that's not really ok with most professionals.  Sorry!

What, you don't like the two-kitchen, no bath, no living room concept? Where's your imagination? Let the OP build it just like it is. We need for him to go down in flames so that we can clean up the gene pool.

Oh no doubt there are a lot of things wrong with this. But the post reads like that's what he already had to work with *shrugs* It looks like this is a shared living-type situation, and all of these bedrooms are really like small studios or dorms and that hallway is an exterior circulation space.

I'd love to have a personal kitchen in my bedroom. This could be a new trend and this kid is right at the front of it.

This is a shared living environment, where two or more small families with 1 or no children live.

Ahhh, well everybody knows that people don't defecate in group living situations.

Dual kitchens but porta potties. Definitely an interesting concept.

OP:  You have a couple of other issues that need addressing before you worry about a grandiose front porch.

I am 110% sure this is a throwaway troll account of someone with too much free time.

I refuse to believe in this level of incompetency even from first year undergrad. Or even a highschool student.

It is not a troll account, you should decrease your surity level.

Tell who ever asked you to do the work to hire someone more competent who won't attempt to source free answers from strangers online.

Assuming you meant "surety", my confidence that it's not me is unshakable. But it is a great model for a future troll. #filed

hi, thanks to all of you, your comments are good, but the building in 3d images has been already built, that's why i am facing the problem, and i have to come to you people,

Just tell me, that this type of porch is feasible with tr and girders roof? And where to build the stairs?

Is this a school project? If so, it's pretty shitty to start with so adding a faux Victorian porch won't really help. Also, what does TR stand for?

I wanted to ask about the TR but figured it was something I should already know. :-P

T Bar, sorry, we say it TR in our local language.

Tbar, as in, for suspended acoustic tile ceilings? This just keeps getting better.

We can't respond because we don't actually know enough about this building or the location to be able to feasibly respond. Even if we did know these things, it's not fair of you to ask for a FREE advice, especially when that FREE advice creates a situation where anyone who comments would be on the hook legally.  Architects do not just create pretty pictures of buildings in 3d which is what the post above insinuates.  We work towards solutions that ensure health, safety, and welfare of inhabitants.  

To reiterate, you should hire a local architect to help you.  They will know your local laws for building, can make sure its structurally sound, and can coordinate the construction for you.
