Hello, I am hoping I can get help on how to detail a flat room to my new front porch which extends 4' off the front of the house per attached image.
The idea is to have a straight look with a concealed gutter (which i think is a good idea to have)
Any suggestions will be apreciated.
Regards.
Cesar

Not a simple problem. Concealed gutters can be troublesome, and you have to find a way to get the water down from the roof...a downspout strapped to one of those pretty columns is not likely to satisfy you very much. It would probably take me anywhere from a half day to a full day to work out such details...that's how complicated it is. Ask your architect. that's the best advice I can give you.
