Description
The homeowners at the Adare House — a mid-century modern house designed and built by Zeke Jabbour in 1963 — contacted us to design a replacement to their aging carport.
The question for us became how to maintain many of its qualities while producing a fully enclosed garage twice the size.
In the end, the garage was treated like a pavilion that opens up in all the ways you would expect it to, while also offering a number of unexpected conditions: a facade of polycarbonate in dialogue with the original house, a large pivot door that easily opens to the rear yard, and a side window to bring in daylight. More than a place to store and protect the family automobiles, the garage also offers a protected place to repair a bicycle or do other outside work, all with views through to the yards.
A neighbor who has lived in the neighborhood for decades complimented the homeowners by telling them that the garage looked as if it had always been there.
