ABOUT THE PROJECT:
This extreme garage renovation was a complete overhaul. Literally everything was transformed. The client wanted his garage to serve several purposes. First, it was to be extremely aesthetically pleasing. Next, he wanted to host his weekly poker games in the garage so it needed to be air conditioned, have accent lighting and a full audio system. With more than three vehicles, he wanted a car lift to fit the luxury vehicles inside. He need a place for shoe storage, a section for his car detailing company to wash & wax and vacuum his vehicles every week, a workbench area and ample storage.
After a big cleanout, we loaded what he kept into a mobile storage unit and drove the non-essential backstock items down to his storage unit to unlock additional storage space in the garage.
The walls and ceiling were cut open to run new plumbing and electrical. Our drywall team patched them and painted a graphite/grey/black color palette.
The floors were coated with custom sized quadrants cut into to provide a two-tone color palette (dark and light). Modular flooring tiles were added in the single-car bay to park his street bike and host poker nights. It also added another dimension to the floor.
The pewter & black cabinet system was installed with ample silver slatwall along the side walls.
Six built-in speakers were installed in the ceiling amongst the HEX lighting. LED’s were added to both the cabinet system and the car lift. A vintage Lamorghini sign was installed in the single car bay. A built-in pressure washer system was installed and a vacuum system for car detailing as well.
The garage doors were lifted, the ceiling-mount openers removed and replaced with wall-mount openers so we could install the platform car lift. We went with the platform lift so the operations consule could be mounted on an adjacent wall and so the overall aesthetics were optimized versus a traditional 4-post car lift.
Like most projects, we included ancillary spaces on this one too – his shed and attic received full cleanouts and re-organization. A new attic ladder was installed and plywood planks added to the rafters to create extra storage capacity.
