Project Goals

  • Design a garage addition that integrates with the existing home
  • Position the structure to follow the natural geometry of the site
  • Introduce a dedicated, finished office space within the new structure
  • Maintain clean architectural continuity between old and new
  • Provide durable, high-function utility space without sacrificing finish quality
  • Incorporate upgraded comfort features for year-round use

Key Features

Angled Site Integration
The garage was deliberately set on an angle to align with the property rather than the house alone. This improves how the building sits on the lot, creating a more natural relationship with the driveway and surrounding space.

Seamless Connection to Existing Home
The addition ties into the original structure with aligned roof geometry, consistent proportions, and coordinated materials—red board-and-batten siding with white trim providing contrast without conflict.

Oversized Garage with Expanded Utility
A wide, two-bay garage creates practical storage and workspace capacity, with generous ceiling volume and open spans for flexibility.

Integrated Finished Office Space
A fully finished room within the structure provides dedicated interior space, suitable for office use or overflow living. Clean lines, simple trim, and an exposed brick feature wall give it a grounded, finished feel without overcomplication.

In-Floor Heating System
The office area is equipped with radiant in-floor heating, delivering consistent comfort and making the space viable year-round—no reliance on forced air or supplemental systems.

Exposed Structural Framing (Garage Interior)
The garage portion retains exposed framing and engineered trusses, keeping the space open, accessible, and functional while maintaining a clean, organized appearance.

Concrete Slab & Durable Finishes
A continuous slab provides a solid working surface throughout, with finishes selected for longevity and ease of use in a mixed-purpose environment.

The Result

The completed structure adds meaningful square footage without disrupting the character of the existing home. Its angled placement allows it to sit naturally within the site, improving both function and visual balance.

From the exterior, it reads as a considered extension; inside, it delivers a clear upgrade in utility. The combination of open garage space and conditioned office area gives the building flexibility—equally suited to storage, work, or daily use.

A practical addition, shaped by the site and executed with intent.
