This Parking Space Doubles As A Cozy Outdoor Dining Area

See how designer Philippe Beauparlant added a multipurpose carport — which doubles as a dining area and parking garage — to maximize function on his narrow lot. String lights and speakers make the area ideal for entertaining when the carport isn’t in use. A table and chairs are hidden behind Jackson Pollock-inspired sliding doors, and can easily be brought out to create a dining area. Heaters and ceiling fans mean this double-duty carport is perfect for all-season entertaining.
