Option 2: Build a small projecting gable and widen the stoop, to create a small portico, perhaps one that is slightly asymmetrical to play up the English vernacular influence. I would keep it not that tall to fit the architecture. A small custom copper hood might be a solutions if kept rather small, and could look nice when it weathers to a verdigris. A segmental arch would give a little height, but could tie in a bit more easily into the adjoining gable. Option 1: I think the best solution would be to kick out the slope of the roof a little bit to create a slight overhang over the stoop, perhaps with some classical type brackets underneath to help support it. It would be easier if the doorframe wasn't so tight to the end of the gable, or if the gable projected out from the plane of the house. I think it is really cute the way it is, and no cover or very little cover over the entrance is characteristic of this style. This house is in the Minimal Traditional/Cape Cod family, and they can be tough to alter because of these characteristics. I think the gable and dormer are too close for another gable to look right unless you do some major rebuilding, plus the edge of the roof is very low over the door. ![]()
