Exclamation Maserati's search for the best garages

http://www.designdriven.us/

Look around, if you are a garage nut (and car nut) some fabulous garages, cars, ideas.

Here is one


"This space was an addition to an existing residence created by the same architectural firm 20 years previous. The vision for this space was to serve multiple purposes. First, the client is an avid collector of luxury vehicles and this new space was to be a gallery to enjoy and showcase a selection of his most prized automobiles. Second, the client hosts a variety of large functions, therefore the addition was to be conducive for private events. Finally, the client desired additional residential space for out of town guests.

This addition was located directly across from existing garages which were renovated to emulate the new and then connected to the original residence by means of a covered breezeway. A new stone paver auto court is now shared by both garage spaces. The exterior materials were painstakingly matched to allow for an undetectable transition.

The auto gallery is spacious and elegantly appointed. A stunning mahogany wall system hides access to storage cabinetry flanking a black granite service bar. The same granite serves as the perimeter for the gray porcelain showroom floor. Both garages are air conditioned and auto-related art adorn the walls. Men’s and women’s restrooms are located to the rear of the garage and are as refined as the residential space. Beneath the auto gallery is a detailing garage.

When entertaining, the garage doors rise and disappear into the sophisticated ceiling system. For privacy a custom tent is erected connecting the two garages and enclosing the entire auto court transforming it into a large ballroom. The space is air conditioned and spacious enough to comfortably seat and serve over 500 people.

For overnight guests, an exquisite 1500 square foot two bedroom penthouse is located above the the garage. It is beautifully appointed and contains its own private vestibule accessed through an entry door, as well as, through the auto gallery. All three floors are also connected by way of a hidden elevator." [
