Porch is a construction external to the walls of the main building. The word porch comes from old French porche. The main purpose of a porch is to have a sufficient space before the house where you can get a comfortable pause before entering the house.
There are many kinds of porch designs. You can see some in this article. Some are open and just covered with roof, others may be closed with windows or plastic covers.
Every home, if there are conditions, should have this kind of space. It is perfect for the rainy days to be out and enjoy the fresh wet air, or if you want to really leave your home but not go far.
