Who Else Wants a New Garage?

By Frediruk Reblerup

Space seems to be the prevailing woe of quite a large number of people. This is understandable since apartment rooms and condominium units charge a hefty rate every month while house and lots in the suburbs require high monthly amortizations. This has led to the need for urban planner and interior designers since they know how to truly maximize any living space presented to them.

Now, if you think you have neither talent of the two aforementioned professionals, worry not. You may still tap your creativity in order to evaluate whether building a new garage in your place is a possible option.

Typically, a simple garage does not need a huge amount of cash in order to be built. Keep this in mind so that you won't have to act like a miser and scrimp on the budget. Failure to heed this advice will result to a finished product that has absolutely no sense of style that even a hobo would not feel comfortable living in it. So, if you are mulling over on whether or not building a new garage will benefit you, here is a list of great ideas to convince you that you can achieve a special garage.

First, you have to decide whether you will choose the attached or detached option. Does it sound Greek? Well, when we say attached, it means that the garage is connected or built in conjunction with the house. Most housing communities nowadays have this type of garages. This is due to the convenience it offers especially during winter when the biting cold and nippy air is bombarding you with melted snow. During the summer season, attached garages also protect you from the scorching heat of the summer sun. Unfortunately, this option limits the design probabilities for the house.

If you want to go the other way and pick detached garages, you are in for a lot of benefits. One is that detached garages can easily decrease and at times, even eliminate the imposing garage-dominated facade that a lot of architects, interior designers and even ordinary homeowners find unattractive. It can also be set at an angle that you want or set back from your abode. In addition, if you have detached garages, the space meant for the parking area will be used instead for another purpose. How does the Zen-inspired patio or kitchen garden sound to you? Those living in moderate climate might enjoy the experience of having a well-manicured and landscaped walk from the automobile to the house.

Instead of resorting to the typical layout wherein the house plan has a garage facing the street directly, attached to one side of the house, with the entry to the insides requiring a mini tour of the laundry or utility room, bypassing a cozy bathroom along the way, why don't you build a simple mudroom with a good storage area and chairs to sit on. This option is more practical and welcoming.

If you have plenty of cars, then it follows that you must also have numerous garages to fit them all. Just inform your architect so that he can make the necessary arrangements to accommodate your needs.

Include the stairs in the building plan if you want to have the upper floor rented to individuals. This way, you will not only have a simple garage, you will also gain another form of livelihood. - 21393
