The Garage…

#Garage

I have a somewhat special relationship to what a garage should facilitate, just offering  protection from the elements either it be the weather or cat buglers is not quite what i am looking for..

What i want is a place that is mine, unlike the house witch has 4 residents including myself, has to have rules that make sure that everyone has an equal amount of comfort, this place will be my rules and my rules only! But before i can impose a set of rules i need to follow the councils rules to get i built..

There has been 10-15 design sketches on the pad with different approaches on how to maximize the area i have available, one more extravagant than the previous…it was time for a reality check!

I sat down and scrapped all the ideas i had in my head and started looking online for some new inspiration to try to get out of the deep track i had seem to get stuck in and had to basically come up with some guidelines that would help me make the correct decisions.

  1. Enough space, utilize the building spec for buildings up to 70 m²
  2. Dirty workshop, for media blasting, compressor storage etc
  3. Flush mount car lift

I just must stop and comment how simple and helpful Google Sketch Up is to use, just to get your ideas visualized it is a fantastic tool, i use it for just about everything.(No attachments financially to Google in any way, just giving a good  tool some credit)   

This is the concept i have decided to keep working on, this is the idea i have at the moment and it as the design  matures changes will be implemented to facilitate structural requirements.
