As a lifelong car enthusiast, one of my fondest dreams included creating the perfect dream garage. A space to showcase beautiful vintage Porches, complete projects, house a mechanics area that would be the envy of any repair shop and yet still be comfortable for gatherings. Our dream came true two years ago. Luckily our house lives on a spacious lot. So with room to go big, we added almost 1,000 square feet to the existing 650-sf garage. It can now house eight vehicles with 12-foot-high ceilings creating the spacious atmosphere. No dark or dingy areas in this garage – four skylights work with four glass-block windows to flood it with natural light. The radiant heat keeps room temperature perfect. A polyaspartic-chip floor makes for easy maintenance with a look that dazzles. Twelve enclosed storage units line the walls with artful 9.5-feet of Bamboo work on top and four open storage racks. Everyone parks in comfort, shielded from the Rocky Mountain weather, to enjoy a relaxing area featuring an end table, director’s chairs and the custom wine rack.
