This carport works harder than most garages. 🚗
For these clients, it came down to two things that matter a lot in Vancouver: parking for two cars, and privacy. So instead of a garage, we built a timber frame carport that matches the deck cover on the home, and ran a water line to a small prep sink in the corner.
That sink is there for a reason. The husband in the family brews his own b**r and does some canning, so they wanted a real outdoor space for it. Close the garage door and the whole area becomes fully enclosed and covered, ready for a small patio setup whenever they want to entertain.
We actually mapped out a full garage first, but closing off all four walls made the yard feel clustered and gave up too much usable space. Between that and the cost difference against a timber carport, integrating it with the covered deck at the rear just made more sense. Now the flow goes straight from the kitchen down to the lower patio and out into the carport, comfortably holding a crowd of about a hundred people.
Privacy and entertaining aren't usually asked to do the same job. Here, they are.
