The project name says it all — if you read it correctly. "Fine" here does not mean adequate. It means exquisite. Every decision in this space was made with the same precision you'd expect from the finest boutique interiors, yet applied to a place most architects never consider with this level of seriousness: the garage.
The brief was clear. The vehicles stored here deserved a setting that matched their quality. The result is a private showroom that draws no attention to itself — and yet leaves a lasting impression on anyone who enters.
Materials & Palette
The spatial concept relies on restraint. Dark vertical slats line the side walls, drawing the eye upward and adding depth without visual noise. Large-format, light-coloured floor tiles anchor the composition. The rear wall combines textured stone with bronze-toned elements — warm, timeless, and deliberately understated. The palette of bronze, dark grey, and off-white is not a style choice. It is a decision.
Light as a Design Tool
Lighting in this space does more than illuminate. A wide, even light field across the ceiling eliminates harsh reflections on lacquer and glass. Slim linear strips run the length of the side walls, tracing light along bonnets and rooflines. At the base of the wall, a discreet LED strip lifts the perimeter — separating floor from wall, reducing visual weight, opening the room.
The Door That Disappears
The most technically complex element is the one you cannot see. The vertically retractable garage door, finished in the same bronze texture as the surrounding wall, disappears entirely when closed. No frame, no track, no visible threshold. Only when it opens does its scale become apparent — a controlled, precise movement that reveals the space beyond like a slow, deliberate gesture.
Flush Pivot Entry & Hidden Storage
The same logic applies throughout. The interior door to the house is a flush-mounted pivot with no visible frame — a seamless continuation of the wall surface, opened by a handle zone with an integrated light strip. The smart home panel sits recessed and flush, refusing to interrupt the room's quiet geometry. The slatted wall panels conceal storage behind doors that join so precisely, the seams are imperceptible.
Infinity Mirror
A large-format infinity mirror with integrated lighting occupies one side wall, multiplying the room's lines into apparent depth. What is already a composed space becomes, in reflection, something closer to infinite.
