If you've seen the Drawing Board column I wrote for the September 2011 issue of Fine Homebuilding magazine ("Taking oriels to a new level", Issue #221), you might want to check out this video, too. I created it as a companion piece to my column about upper-level oriels. (An oriel is a window bay without a foundation.) If you haven't seen my Fine Homebuilding column yet, it's on newsstands now, and here's a link to a PDF version of it.

In it, I illustrate both lower and taller stoops, a few with limited access, and one ideal (illustrated to the left) which includes porch-like, built-in seating. No matter your home's style, a thoughtfully designed entry-stoop can make a positive first impression.
