Hello everyone,
I am looking for some constructive solutions for a canopy at the entrance area.
On the right side, we have a small bay window that projects about 1.20m (4 feet) out, then the entrance area, and then the garage, which is roughly at the same level as the bay window.
The gap between the bay window and the garage (about 6 meters (20 feet)) should be covered, as shown in the example photo.
I am now searching for suggestions on how to construct this canopy between the bay window and the garage.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the garage already built, or has the slab for the garage been poured? If not, then you could move the garage further back so that it aligns flush with the house, and you could build the canopy as shown in the photo. No, construction will only start in the coming months.
My question is only about how I can build such a canopy.
The garage protruding together with the bay window is planned that way. The canopy is supposed to connect both, basically linking them together.

The architect is rather negative about the roofing. Who is paying the architect? You, right? Who is paying for the house?
In the end, the one who pays decides what gets done. Maybe I’m just being too naive.

The one who pays ultimately decides what gets done. Maybe I’m being too naive.Well, the architect doesn’t design the roof or canopy anyway.
That’s why I think I’ll have the roofer handle the garage roof and house roof directly.

If the garage has a height of 3m (10 feet) and the bay window 3.20m (10.5 feet), and you smoothly adjust the height between them, wouldn’t that look rather awkward from the front view?No, definitely not… on the contrary.
Not good.
I would rather start flush at the bay window and place it on the garage. Then visually continue the 20 cm (8 inches) with a cladding on the garage roof. You can also hide gutters, cables, or something else behind it. And yes, a roofer is a good contact for something like this.
I just don’t know if you can avoid a plan change. That might require a building permit / planning permission.
