When a garage and a house are angled toward each other, the breezeway in between can funnel access and views from a narrow entry plane to a wider rear expanse. This type of breezeway preserves some backyard privacy by presenting a tighter view to passersby. Because a funneled breezeway doesn't share a common roof with the garage and the house, its roof can be inset from the front and rear faces of the house and the garage such that windows and doors in corners of both buildings have direct access to daylight. This breezeway also is narrower than a contained breezeway, so it doesn't suffer as much from lack of daylight.
