Hi there folks! Let’s talk about verandas. First, we have to know what it even means. Baranda or Verandah is a Bengali word meaning an open-air gallery, or basically, simply put a porch. Although verandah is the correct spelling, we often omit the “h”, so we came to a term veranda.

It usually spreads across the entire front of a house, even the sides. Also, it is often enclosed by a railing. In the US, every porch can be called a veranda. However, most of the world considers it to be enclosed, and specific part of a building made for rest and relaxation.

Origins

Verandas are very popular in Eastern Europe where I come from. You can see them in Polish, Hungarian or Serbian households. They also became widely popular across Australia and New Zealand in the colonization period around 1850. The veranda is quite prominent in Australia. It is a part of the vernacular architecture.
This Victorian Filigree architecture style is very popular among residents of Australia but also in commercial use, many hotels and inns use them as well. Veranda features decorative screens of cast iron lace, wrought iron, or wood fretwork. The especially popular style is the Queenslander, an adapted subtropical style made for hot conditions.

The use of veranda

A veranda is a place where we can stay for the whole year and we do not have to worry about the weather outside, where it is snowing, or it is sizzling hot. It is a place of rest, relaxation but also a place to sit with your family. Many artists use verandas as a workspace.

It associates us with the seaside, Mediterranean, but also to a mountain home. Despite that, more and more city homes have their own veranda, its flower oasis for relaxation.

Final word

Well, this is where we say goodbye. But worry not, it is not the end. If you are interested in getting help from an expert in vernacular architecture, feel free to write to us.
