More than a place to park, this custom detached building was designed as a personal retreat where vehicles, hobbies, and entertaining come together in one thoughtfully planned space.

Every homeowner has a different vision for how they want to use their space. For this project, the goal was never simply to build a garage, it was to create a destination. A place where prized vehicles could be showcased, projects could come to life, and friends and family could gather long after the workday was over.

The building was designed to feel like an extension of the home rather than a separate outbuilding. High ceilings, carefully considered finishes, and an open interior create a space that easily transitions from workshop to entertainment area. Whether it's detailing a classic car, watching the game, or spending an afternoon with friends, every square foot was planned around the owner's lifestyle.

Bringing that vision to life required more than adding extra square footage. CMB worked through the building's proportions, overhead door placement, ceiling height, and structural layout to create a space that feels open, functional, and welcoming. Large door openings provide effortless vehicle access, while the interior was planned to accommodate storage, workshop areas, lounge space, and future customization without cluttering the overall flow of the building.

By focusing on how the space would actually be used, the finished design supports far more than vehicle storage, it creates a versatile environment tailored to the owner's interests.

The finished building has become one of the most enjoyed spaces on the property. It provides a place to display vehicles with pride, tackle new projects, host friends, and unwind at the end of the day, all within a space designed specifically for the owner's lifestyle.

What began as the idea of a detached garage ultimately became something much more personal: a retreat that reflects the people who use it and the passions they enjoy most.
