This architectural design integrates an enclosed parking structure with an attached, open-sided shelter. The fully enclosed area provides secure storage for vehicles and other belongings, while the adjacent open structure offers covered parking, protecting vehicles from the elements without complete enclosure. As an example, a homeowner might utilize the enclosed area for tool storage and secure parking, and the open-sided area to shield a second vehicle from sun or rain.
Such designs maximize property use and offer flexible parking solutions. They address the need for both secure storage and readily accessible, sheltered parking. Historically, these integrated structures have gained popularity as lot sizes decrease and the need for multi-vehicle parking increases, particularly in regions with variable weather conditions. The addition of covered open structure enhances property value by providing covered shelter and protection for vehicles or belongings.
