Breezeway

12 years ago

Hello, can you tell me length of breezeway? Do you think 5' would be sufficient between a garage and house with a connecting platform like this? Or too close? I have between 4-6' but would like to use minimum. Thank you.

Thanks for your question. The breezeway here is 16'-0" long between the house and the garage. If you are looking to achieve something similar 5' would definitely be to small, we would maximize as much space between the house and garage as you can. You want a breezeway to feel open and inviting, if its on the smaller side it might feel too closed off.
