So many restrictions. Livable stories, total height, roof angles, etc. etc. This was the optimal solution given everything we're facing.

Could you elaborate a bit? Is Forward a lift company? Thanks.

Thanks. Cars are: 89 Porsche 911 (lowered) 03 BMW 540i wagon (lowered) 85 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 (lifted)

There's one in the back. Adding another in the front from the advice here.

THat's the dream, and I sent your pics to the architect. I don't think I'll have anywhere near that amount of space. What is the finish on the floor? Thanks

Appreciate the kind words. It's coming together. I think the man door is doable. I just can't do car doors at both ends. It's a city ordinance; one direction car entry only. Plus, I have something like a 40-foot setback in the front, which means I basically can't use my own front lawn. But...

I'm not opposed to the 3-car plus workspace approach. Wife's car is outside unless we hear of nasty hail or tornado, so it's only mine going inside. I've asked architect to see about widening and lengthening, but we're at or near limits given lot and other needs. Both are important, but I...

Eh, I like windows, I find myself enjoying the weather more than you might think in Texas, and they face interior to the property. There's a 4' high retaining wall, topped by a 6' high fence, so from the street, you have to see over ten feet to see into the property. And I like looking at my...

That would be amazing, but I don't think I have the resources to find and install it.

you seem nice and fun.

No basements in this part of Texas, unfortunately. No guns or powder will be in the garage. Just a workbench, which I don't have in the house. Those windows will face the interior of the property, which has an 8-10 foot fence surrounding it.

So, it seems like the consensus is that I should go narrower. In all seriousness, I appreciate the ideas. A few points which might help steer the conversation: I have less than half an acre total on which to enact my dreams. .39 acres to be exact. The house itself is ~2,600 square feet...

I was debating that last night. On the one hand it’ll be a push of a button to open the main doors. On the other hand the only man door is at the far corner of the garage from the house. Would I be making a mistake in not putting another door closer?

Appreciate the kind words. No boats, no trailers, not allowed to have a drive thru per city.

Hello, I'm in the process of renovating a house in Texas, and I finally get to build the garage of my dreams (tempered by my budget). The goal is four cars, with a 2-post lift, and room to work. Here's the layout I have so far. Interior space is 20'10" wide by 40'8" (to back wall) Goals...
