It’s not always easy to add onto a mid-century home without it looking…added on. This new carport in Krisana Park was designed to feel as if it has been there all along. Intentional, but not flashy, with thoughtful lines and balanced proportions that echo the original architecture.

We kept things crisp and simple: a flat roof with a clean fascia, simple wood posts, and a new entry sequence that reorients the walk and provides a more focused sense of arrival. A custom wood slat screen adds a layer of privacy and rhythm, complemented by a steel planter that brings texture, contrast, and natural plantings. Fresh lighting and a soft, modern paint palette pull everything together.

The result is quiet but confident. The carport doesn’t compete—it completes. It offers shelter and presence without overwhelming the house. Scroll through to see where we started, the vision in rendering form, and how it all came together in the end.

Plantings to come in the spring…

Big thanks to Alex at Honeycomb Construction and his crew for bringing it to life!

Here's the rendering of the new carport for a mid-century home in Krisana Park, Denver. The goal was to make it blend in with the house, to look like it has always been there. Proportions, materials, and details matter. Respecting the original architecture while also accommodating modern needs is a balance we always strive for.
