Coming from South Africa I am not very clear on the exact terminology used, and the word “dogtrot” is quite and alien one to me.

I like the idea of an enclosed veranda / porch but have never heard of it being called a dogtrot before. The regional evolution of language used to describe concepts that are unique to a certain part of the world holds great interest to me.

The english spoken in Australia is definitely not the same as spoken in the USA, that much is apparent!

Thank you for an awesome blog, I’ve found some really great inspiration here.

Regards

Tinothy

I’m also a fan of dogtrots — an iconic American plan type. I’d like to add dogtrot plans to our inventory. Stay tuned!

Cordially,

Dan Gregory

Designing with the idea of adding space makes sense for a home anyway. Of your plans, I like the modular concept of the last plan. The layout with the porch in the middle reminds me of a dogtrot, which can be faced into the prevailing wind pattern to create a wonderful summer space.
