This detached three-bay garage replaced a shed at the back of a narrow city lot. My design took it's cues from the turn-of-last-century house. I matched the 12/12 roof pitch for the front gable, but broadened to an 8/12 over the main roof. Room-in-attic trusses create a spacious storage area, accessed by a narrow stair within the third bay.
Details include cement board lap siding, wide frieze boards, and crown mouldings. The owner cut square butt shingles with a quarter round to make a cove style like those on the house. He also installed concrete pavers which border a recycled asphalt driveway.
