House Plans with Carports

Home Plan #592-020D-0365
Carports are structures that offer limited protection to vehicles, primarily cars, from the elements. Carports can either be freestanding or attached to a wall of a house plan. Unlike most structures, they do not have four walls, and are most commonly found with only two walls. House plans with carports offer less protection than home plans with garages, but they do allow for more ventilation. The term carport was coined by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, when he began using carports in some his home designs. Wright described the carport as a cheap and effective device for the protection of a car.
