preserve the existing house massing rooflines roof pitches gables dormers garage placement porch design columns window placement door placement proportions and overall architectural character add a single third garage bay to the right side of the existing two car garage this new bay should read as a subordinate side extension not a full matching front facing garage mass set the new single bay slightly recessed farther back than the main two car garage so it feels like an addition to the original structure give it a simple lower straight roofline that extends back cleanly rather than creating another prominent front facing gable use a black roof black windows and black garage doors remove all window shutters use wood porch posts and make the only wood trim the simple accent detail above the windows use garage doors with no windows
