Here at dlb design, we have a thing for cars. This project was an incredibly fun opportunity to help a dear family friend who loves cars just about as much as we do! The client wanted a dream space for their collection that was as classic yet over-the-top as the cars themselves. The end result is an unforgettable space that allows the cars to shine while still being totally gorgeous enough to stand on its own.
Starting from scratch, we meticulously planned and designed every aspect of this car enthusiast's dream garage. The expansive layout provides ample room for the client's impressive collection of classic cars, each vehicle meticulously showcased to highlight its unique beauty. High ceilings and a thoughtfully designed lighting system ensure that every car is perfectly illuminated, creating a showroom-quality display that is both functional and visually stunning.
One of the standout features of this project is the use of large-scale black-and-white photographs that adorn the walls. These images not only celebrate the golden age of automobiles but also add a touch of vintage elegance to the space. The monochromatic palette of the photos contrasts beautifully with the sleek, polished cars, creating a striking visual impact.
The flooring, a high-gloss epoxy finish, was chosen for its durability and reflective quality. This surface not only withstands the wear and tear of daily use but also enhances the lighting, making the entire garage sparkle. The glossy finish adds a sophisticated touch, ensuring that the space feels as luxurious as the cars it houses.
In addition to the display area, we designed custom cabinetry and storage solutions to keep the space organized and clutter-free. These bespoke units provide plenty of room for tools, spare parts, and car care products, all while maintaining the sleek aesthetic of the garage. Every piece of storage was crafted to match the overall design, seamlessly blending functionality with style.
The lounge area within the garage is a perfect retreat for the client and their guests. Comfortable seating, a vintage jukebox, and a large screen TV create an inviting space to relax and enjoy the view of the car collection. The use of green artificial turf in this area adds a playful touch, reminiscent of a classic car show setting, and provides a cozy contrast to the sleek cars and polished floors.
The custom display cases for smaller collectibles and memorabilia are another highlight of this project. These cases, made of glass with integrated lighting, ensure that each item stands out. From trophies and ribbons to miniature car models, every piece is given its own spotlight, adding layers of personal significance to the space.
The exterior design of the garage includes subtle references to classic car culture, further enhancing the thematic consistency. The sleek black siding and modern architectural lines provide a contemporary backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the vintage charm of the cars and memorabilia inside.
The transformation of this garage into a high-end showroom and lounge was a labor of love. The client's passion for cars inspired us to push the boundaries of design and create a space that is both a practical workshop and a luxurious gallery. This project showcases our ability to blend functionality with aesthetic excellence, delivering a final product that exceeds expectations.
