This is regarding a college project we're working upon. The project is to design a residence for an elderly couple. The design of the house is ready, but the thing is that there is parking space provided for 2 cars such that they are parked in such a way that even the setback space is occupied by the car. This isn't a problem when it comes to open parking, but one of our professors wants it to be a closed car parking. I thought of something like a temporary car shed. Can anyone suggest some ideas to solve this?
Temporary car sheds are still subject to (most) zoning setbacks. Note that they are often banned (because they are fucking ugly) by many municipalities.
It is also a terrible idea. You should have included an enclosed garage with the project in the first place.
Thanks guys, I actually included a garage in my first design but that eats up quite a part of the site. The remaining space seems to be too less for the rooms. I want the residence to only have a ground floor, but I think I'll work it out. Thanks again.

Is this a studio on how to design suburban schlock? Then yes, redesign to include enclosed two-car garage.
is your professor having you design his garage?

It's called a design challenge.
Who needs a garage when you can call an Uber? Otherwise just park inside the house:
I love that Uber idea but sadly we HAVE to include a garage XD
You are in school - propose a Post-Garage House.
Exactly, people who do exactly what their teachers tell them to will not learn a lot or go very far. And what about a post-garage-proto-punk house?
