Hello,
Newbie here. First time post. Not a designer or architect so there may be standard fixes for this type of problem.
Background: I am adding a carriage house to the side of my existing house. The previous owner bumped out my kitchen by 2'. A deck was wrapped around the corner of the house. Due to the carport, the corner of the deck had to be dropped in order to meet headroom requirements.
Fast Forward:
Due to lot constraints I have to move the carriage house as close to the original as possible. I wish to use the existing stairways to my kitchen as a common entrance.
With the existing carport removed, I can raise the lowered wraparound corner to be level with the main deck.
Problem: The carriage house originally had an internal L shaped stairway. As luck would have it, the landing for the stair was almost at the height of the deck. The door to my house basement is reached via a set of concrete steps which lines up perfectly with the lower door to the carriage house.
Here is my dilemma - the roof plane cuts through my upper entrance door. I am trying to figure out an elegant solution that would solve the door issue as well as cover the bump out over the kitchen. Extending the upper roof line of my house to create a breezeway is my first idea, but that awkward corner has gotten the best of me.
Looking for ideas as I combine the two plan drawings into a single plan. Until I can get time to do that, I am just putting out feelers.
