The form, workmanship and
material of the existing carport on the site is of good quality, therefore the design
concept can be considered as a light touch approach to preserving
this character, whilst taking the opportunity to introduce a series
of appropriate contemporary
interventions.
Whilst the form is instantly
recognisable and draws both domestic and agricultural
connotations, the open fronted
carport makes the use apparant
and faces on to the highway and
primary elevation. As such there is the opportunity to introduce a
contemporary, crisply detailed and materially contextual addition
to this elevation. Privacy to theint ernal spaces was as important
as introducing natural light, as such
a compostion of reeded vertical
timber is introduced, allowing
diffused views to the spaces
beyond.
