Adare Pavilion was designed for homeowners at the Adare House — a mid-century modern house designed and built in 1963 — as a replacement to their aging carport that could do more than just house automobiles.







In the end, the garage was treated like a pavilion that opens up in the way you would expect it to, while also offering a number of unexpected conditions: a facade of polycarbonate in dialogue with the original house, a large pivot door that easily opens to the rear yard, and a side window to bring in daylight. More than a place to store and protect the family automobiles, the pavilion also offers a protected place to repair a bicycle or host a large party, all with views through to the yards.

A neighbor who had lived in the neighborhood for decades complimented the homeowners — telling them that the  addition looked as if it had always been there.
