Popular Garage Size Configurations
Residential garages are primarily designed for vehicle storage and can often facilitate additional functionality like workshops, storage, or even recreational space. Planning the space with the perfect layout considerations including the number of vehicles, storage needs, and any additional uses. A single-car garage primarily houses one automobile and has a small amount of storage, while larger garages will feature spaces for workbenches, recreational equipment, bikes and tools.
Multi-vehicle garage build-outs require space planning to ensure efficient storage use and auto access. Some garage designs integrate and attach the garage with the house, providing internal, direct access without having to step outside during bad weather months. Other garage designs are a detached building structure and feature bonus living or additional storage space above the garage. Garage layouts should prioritize functionality, accessibility, and safety over storage and beauty.
