This was a fun project that was constructed earlier in the year. It is the first carport that I've designed. My client wanted a carport to blend in aesthetically with the home, just like the existing pool house and shed do. The shape of the roofs, materials and colors all reference the other buildings on the site.
The carport was built under the existing trees, and beautiful new landscaping connects it to the site as well. Downlighting built into the ceiling of the carport is wired to a motion sensor which turns the lights on when the car approaches the carport or when the owner walks out of the front door of the house. Rather than pour a concrete slab, my client opted for a gravel floor, in order to keep the feeling casual. When there's no vehicle parked there, the carport can be used as a covered outdoor space.
