Over the years, garages have become much more than a place to park the car. We have designed everything from a simple one car garage to one that adds amenities that would not otherwise fit in a home (see list below). Whether you are adding another bay, replacing a shed, or adding an attached garage to your home, our team of licensed architects is here to help you design the garage of your dreams. Request an architectural consultation today to start the process.

- Climbing wall
- Golf simulator
- Bike rack wall
- RV parking
- Workshop
- Office and gym space
- Bar/kitchenette
- Ski storage zone
- And more!
Recent Projects – Garages
Denver Street Tudor
This Salt Lake City home renovation project scope included a one-car garage and studio space. The design features a one-car garage when viewed from the street, and a fitness studio behind that opens up to the yard with sliding doors.
Sugar House Cottage Garage
For the second phase of our Sugar House Cottage project, we designed a new detached garage in the backyard. The new structure provides added storage and parking space while also blending with the design of the historic home.
Bonneville Ranch
This attached garage replaced an existing, smaller garage. The new garage is used for the homeowners’ golf simulator which required taller ceilings. When the golf simulator is not in use, the garage is deep enough to fit two large cars as well as storage.
Ski Shop Garage
This new build garage is complete with two stories of storage and living space. On the main level, the space doubles as a two-car garage and ski shop that includes a custom storage wall. Upstairs is a large bonus space perfect for additional storage, an office, or a craft room.
Gilmer Drive Craftsman
This garage addition ties in with the home’s exterior remodel for a consistent look. It includes parking for one car, a covered patio, and a storage area. The compact design fits everything that the homeowners need while still leaving plenty of room in their yard.
