Car Port/Garage (Updated Project January 2011)

It’s not too difficult to design a simple garage that can be attached to a house without looking overly dominant. But it can be a challenge to create living space above the garage. Because of the combined wall heights of the garage and a full-size space above it, the roofline may need to be higher than that of the house.

A new garage can be more than a handy addition to your house - it can also be a visual improvement. Some of the nicest garages don’t look like garages. Instead, they look like part of the house itself.

Here is a car port we constructed for a client in which we created a house-like facade.

Two Years later and the customer asked us to come back and make it just a little bigger. Jan 2011
