Default Garage makeover

We have a 120 year old Victorian with a freestanding two car garage and pool and we live in a small downtown area with a half acre lot so expanding the garage is a challenge. I met with my contractor to discuss some expansion options. The garage has a large attic which is very useful for storage. My goal was to be able to fit a third car and retain some valuable storage space. My contractor ultimately came up with a design that accomplished both goals. Here are a few before and after pictures. We kept the regular 8’ ceiling on one half with an access hole to allow for a ladder to fit and raised the ceiling on the other side all the way to the roof. The first picture is the “before” the rest are the after.

Thank you all, I’m very pleased with the outcome of the garage and I appreciate the kind words about the cars. One more pic of the C4S

Very nice!

I had recently done a huge garage renovation project to convert a really crappy, dirty and dark 3 car garage into this awesome 4 car garage...



...when we had to move up to NorCal. We were able to find a house with 2 x 2 car garages but they are old and dirty and dark again... So now I have to think about what I want to do again.

Rudy, your garage transformation is fantastic. Looking forward to see what you do with the 2 + 2 which is a cool layout.
