GARAGES WITH LIVING QUARTERS

When living close to the work they love, research shows that people are generally happier and healthier than those who have to commute to their personalized workspaces—and it’s not difficult to see why. Being just a few steps away from your garage or workshop gives you the freedom to practice your passions whenever you feel inspired and in a space all your own. Not to mention, you have the ability to create a work/life balance that makes it easy to spend time with family and friends, while achieving your personal goals on a timeline that’s perfect for you. With a garage with living quarters, our clients are able to design a custom garage or workshop centered around their passions and a stunning living space to match. No matter the task, our experienced designers can help you craft a multi-use residence that perfectly suits your lifestyle and meets your needs.

WHY RV GARAGE HOMES MAKE SMART INVESTMENTS FOR RV OWNERS

It goes without saying that owning a recreational vehicle comes with a ton of perks. However, storing an RV is another story. While some RV owners choose to store their recreational vehicles at nearby trailer storage facilities, this can come with an expensive price tag for both unheated and heated indoor environments. Depending on their location, RV owners also have the option of storing their recreational vehicle on the street or in their driveway, but not without risking weather damage or theft. To ensure their recreational vehicle is safe and protected at all times, many RV owners are instead choosing to invest in RV garage homes for their property. In addition to protecting your recreational vehicle from the elements, RV garage homes give you the ability to keep your trailer in perfect condition and ready to hit the road whenever you’re feeling adventurous. If you’re looking for the best long-term storage option for your recreational vehicle, an RV garage with living quarters is a great solution that will serve you and your family for a lifetime.

THE ADVANTAGES OF HEAVY TIMBER CONSTRUCTION

Heavy timber construction is a time-tested building method that utilizes large heavy timber posts and beams to join the frame of a structure. Due to the strength of the heavy timbers used, these structures do not require load-bearing walls to support the frame, giving our clients the flexibility to design their layouts according to their needs. Since the walls of a heavy timber home are placed outside the frame, our clients can also enjoy exposed structural timbers in their living space for a unique visual element that is guaranteed to stun any guest. When designed in the method of heavy timber construction, your building is guaranteed to be a worthwhile investment that grows in beauty and value over time.
