Together with his wife, a car aficionado client sought to design a space that would house a trio of collected automobiles, store car paraphernalia, and serve as an additive space for entertaining on an ample parcel in a desirable area of town. As a result, a freestanding carriage house was proposed to meet these asks, all while positively impacting the property’s sense of arrival. From the street, visitors now bypass the carriage house and motor court before reaching the main house, allowing the outbuilding to serve as a grand gatehouse on site.
