Here is a patio-cover that is simple in its
linear design but complex enough to capture your attention. The canopy is
billowed in the center and extended forward to terminate in a brim, well out
beyond the supporting arch. The width of the canopy is extended by symmetric
wings on each side of the billow.
Character is integrated into the configuration
by the solid kneebraces from post to beam whose carving complements the
carved beams' ends.
The structure is attached to the stucco wall
behind it with hidden pressure-treated spacer-blocks screwed into the wall's
interior studs. As a consequence the entire rear section has a relief
appearance as if the structure were actually detached.
All bolts and brackets are hidden and it is this
feature that gives this structure its sleek aerial delineation.
