Not just a bigger garage …

This is an addition to our Beach-Hamptons styled renovation completed back in 2015. It was later sold and the new owner requested we design a 4 car garage in the front yard. We said, ok.

The existing single garage was small, a bit broken and isolated from the house. The driveway was also steep and awkward to navigate. It's rare to achieve an approval like this to the front of a property, but we were lucky with the shape of the land.

Our design is built almost to the front boundary and behind a reinstated stone wall. The garage door is now double size and styled in keeping with the house. We've made it work with a flat driveway, and we've aded internal access.

A huge beam will support the house while they excavate the front yard ...
