Verandah

A verandah is a roofed, open-air gallery or porch that is attached to the outside of a building. It is typically situated at the front or sides of the structure and is often supported by columns or pillars. Verandahs can be partially enclosed or completely open and are designed to provide a space for relaxation, social interaction, and enjoyment of the outdoors while offering some protection from the elements. They are common in warm climates and are often adorned with furniture such as chairs, tables, and decorative elements, making them a comfortable extension of indoor living spaces.
