I planned this for several years and worked on it for well over a year.
Wood and metal sheets were considered for the porch roof. In the end, it became a steel frame, over which a truck tarp is tensioned to create a ridge.
The last photo shows an initial cardboard prototype.
By now, it’s finished, and everything works as it should. It has already withstood storms and large hailstones (the car did get hail damage), and the water drains off to the right and left so that you can stay dry when passing through in the rain.
The entrance is one of the important, “communicative” parts of a house.
I wanted something that makes you feel welcomed to come inside.
It shouldn’t be too serious and should have some flow.
I think it succeeded 😎

It is certainly true that this element (so far :cool 🙂 only appears once on the house, but such "contradictions" occur frequently in nature, art, and elsewhere. The word "contradictions" is in quotation marks. For me, these are not contradictions either, just like the curved canopy on a typical house.
Found these examples yesterday during my search:
Goethe:
"Nothing reveals a person's character more than what they find ridiculous."
"The same leaves us indifferent, but it is contradiction that makes us productive."
ateliersiegel3 Jul 2023 07:41What I tried to do was to shed light on the comment: "The roof looks like a visual foreign body on the house" from my point of view.
I could also respond: "No worries" ... and thank you for the discussion.
