Inner city garage building

Generally the site coverage limitation decided upon by the city leads to a trade off between garage size and house size.  Usually house size is maximized and garage size reduced to a practical minimum such as 20x20.  Those of us with larger cars and especially truck owners much prefer a bigger garage.  At the recent Richmond project the decision was made early on to accommodate a longer garage so the future client would have the option of parking a truck inside all winter.  This was a particular benefit because little street parking is offered in the area where most of the houses have front garages (no lane).  We also squeezed in an 8 ft door which was a lot more difficult that defaulting to a 7 ft door.  Regardless of car size, I’m sure our future home owners will enjoy being able to park inside in an attached garage.   

 

Lots of room to park two vehicles including a full sized pickup with space to open the doors and get out !
