Hi
We are doing a KDR. Due to narrow block (10.5m) CDC/council will not allow double garage. We would like space for 2 cars in the future. We have come up with this design which has a single garage and adjacent car space (carport style though technically not a car port). The garage is on the right side to align with the current driveway (it is unlikely that we can extend the driveway either to line up with the carport). Keen to get your thoughts on this and if it would work practically.
Thanks in advance.

Can you show a bit more of what the pantry area looks like? I had similar on my design… 2 20822 |
