Encore Garage – Garage & Loft

This one-of-a-kind car condo features a gorgeous” home-away-from-home” office with organizational wonders throughout the space. This car condo consists of three main functional spaces allowing each ​​to enjoy his or her specific hobbies and interests while still being together in this “home-away-from-home”. The owners of the space requested that their car condo was to be redesigned with fully functional cabinets and storage systems to house their hobbies and motorized toys while in residence in Naples.
In the main level “garage” workshop and storage area, the client required a substantial workbench and project space with LED task lighting as well as both open and closed storage spaces for various tools and equipment. The made-to-match mobile tool car was a key element of the build, given the 2,500 sq ft total space on the main floor, which is primarily used for the client’s various motorsport projects and collectible cars.

Given the amount of time, the couple plans to spend here, a cozy kitchenette was also a must. Adjacent to the main garage workshop area, a coordinating kitchen space with plenty of storage for food and drinks is tucked under the stairs. LED lighting to brighten things up and enough counter space to prep and serve snacks and light meals, the space afforded owners everything they needed without leaving the condo.

While the upstairs loft is a shared family space, the primary focus was on creating a special sewing & craft area just for Her. It includes a two-sided island with extra deep storage drawers and a maple counter large enough for multiple projects. A blue-tooth-activated, motorized power-drop, extends from the rafters to power the sewing machine as well as extra task lighting. There is also a substantial His & Hers “home” office and storage space, as well as a casual family media area for movies and gaming.
