01 / The brief
Designed for this place.
Cover a wide driveway while keeping vehicle access clear and the space bright.
This Ardmore project turns a wide driveway area beside the home into a covered carport with a strong architectural profile. The black box perimeter gives the structure a clean outer line, while the red steel frame and gable roof form inside create a practical, open span for vehicle access and everyday use.
The roof combines aluminium rafters with steel PFC beams and 6 mm acrylic glazing across the driveway. The main roof falls at 5 degrees, with the internal gable section resolving the roof geometry inside the perimeter frame. Integrated LED lighting completes the carport.

Structure & finish
The structure uses steel PFC beams for the main frame, with aluminium rafters and guttering to complete the roof system. The red steelwork gives the underside a bold, exposed structural character, while the black perimeter wraps the carport with a crisp outer edge.

- Aluminium rafters, including 100 x 50 mm and 80 x 50 mm members

Roof & glazing
The roof uses 6 mm acrylic glazing over the main carport span. A 5 degree fall establishes the drainage direction across the larger roof areas, while the gable section sits inside the perimeter frame to bring height and structure through the centre.
