Drax Avenue Merton SW20 0EY
A simple free-standing roof over our drive (which already sits behind a wrought iron gate). Site Context and Screening The proposed carport is situated on the driveway and, while it protrudes past the primary elevation of the property, its visual impact is carefully managed through existing site features: - Frontage Screening: The front curtilage is well-screened by established bushes that effectively hide the garden and driveway from the street. - Gated Access: The structure is located behind existing wrought iron gates, maintaining the character and security of the property entrance. - Neighbouring Boundary: A fence and trees above are situated on the side shared with the neighbour, providing additional visual separation. Design, Scale, and Massing The design focuses on a contemporary and sympathetic addition to the street scene: - Minimal Massing: By utilising a high-strength steel structure, the frame remains exceptionally lean in its mass. - Optimised Scale: The structure is specifically designed for a single vehicle, ensuring its overall footprint and scale are kept to a necessary minimum. - Roof Form: The design features a curved, arched roof that provides a softer profile than a traditional pitched or flat roof.
