Designer arch between the garage and the house
Many of us do not know the term porte cochere, but there is nothing unusual in it. In translation, this means a covered entrance gate for a car (in the old days for coaches) with a through road.
It can be located either in front of the front door or on either side of the building, and in some interesting house designs the old French chic is repeated when the port kosher is installed as a gate. But most often they are used on the way to the garage.
Such an architectural method is not only visually attractive, but also has some positive properties, and which ones, you can find out below.
The covered approach from the side is decorated in the most original way, Green Button Homes LLC, San Diego
This project is something between the classical and modern style. There is everything: exposed rafters, elegant bends. Agree, it looks attractive, but also useful, as approaching the house in bad weather, you will be sure that you will not get wet when you leave the car.
Such extensions are large enough to allow your car to pass freely under it, and it is worth considering the possibility of passing another, more dimensional transport. For example, when you deliver furniture. It is much more interesting to make out the porte cochere in a similar manner with the architecture of your dwelling.
