Attached garages that are entered from the side of the house or detached garages that are set back from the front of the house can minimize or eliminate the impact of a garage-dominated front facade. Reducing the visibility of the garage can improve the curb appeal of an individual home while reducing the visibility of the garages on multiple houses can add value and create a sense of place along an entire street.
