snout house
n.— «Traditional layout has produced what is referred to as a snout house, meaning a home is dominated by a view of the garage. In a design where the home is dominated by the garage, the main entrance to the home is often secondary to the entrance for cars, and the driveway often dominates the front yard.» —by Alan Jefferis, David Madsen Architectural Drafting and Design Aug. 7, 2000.
