there are a few ways to do it. Some of these are done with pretty shallow roof pitches and if you live in a snow prone area like I do, you'd have to check local regulations for things like that and plan on a metal roof.





you can imagine these with the cars turned 90 degrees as well since we are working with a fairly square layout.

Interesting concepts. I'd look at overall budget before suggesting curved roofs, or metal roofs. That stuff can get expensive quickly.

Those are WAY off! I drive an M5 not 6!!!!

You are spot on with a couple of those and the other "concept" styles are really expanding what my simple mind could come up with. Like I said, if I use one of these I will gladly make it worth your time. Hell I might even put you in business with my contracting company.

Thanks!!!

tell me about it. you should have seen the compound hyperbolic zinc roof we did for a certain chef in Denver!

This was just an exercise in opening up the mind and getting a visual of what is possible. And it looks like it worked.

Doc, tell me which one you're liking the best and I'll expand on it a little more.

At first I wanted the garage just a 40x40 structure but now I am thinking of making the side that faces the road at an angle so it appears to not be so large.

Sicko if I emailed you some pics of the house and location where I want to put the garage do you think you could help me out?

Let me know


Thanks

This will develop further once I see the pictures and get an idea of its relationship to the house, but here are some ideas that keep it under 20' and match the style.

If I can help with lifts, storage, and any other industrial requirements, feel free to contact me anytime.

absolutely have it looked over for local compliance!

james, do you have specs on your lifts and stuff (cad drawings would be great) then I can add them to these drawings (and maybe save some steps later on )

Nice build. I like the exposed beams.

Will work on getting with you and this info when I'm back in the office.
