A carport can be an enhancing element. The pergola style of structure was adopted so the carport’s impact was reduced, became a feature, and the Queenlander house is still sitting proud. The owners were very involved in the process which resolved a few things including even digging to locate several services. This site is a small lot, and a 6x3m carport is allowed, but that can look quite ordinary. Also allowed are horticultural structures, like pergolas. By adopting the pergola language, we were able to include pergola style elements such as the colonnade walkway. These helped the streetscape appearance, which is liked by the neighbourhood.
