Modern Garage in Far East

[abstamaria]

The separate garage is a a simple shoebox, about 7 meters deep and 20 meters wide, built to fit the terrain and the constraints of a built house. The rear consists of glass windows that look out into a small pond and a hill.

I like the minimalist style!
Where are U from?

[abstamaria]

The garage is in Manila, Corsario. Yes, the style is very minimalist. I am glad you like it. Here is another section.

Lancia Stratos and 246 Dino. I like your taste.

Doesn't sound like it's the OP's - or am I wrong?

[Dark Horse]

Very Nice!

Thanks, evening shots with good lighting produce interesting photos. I'm not sure what "OP's" means, but the only cars are those 2 English and 2 Italian cars. Except for the Dino, they have been with me many years (the Lotus since 1977). Here are two pictures that show the exterior and interior - the garage was, still is actually, under construction. I was reluctant to post because the modern, very minimalist style usually isn't very popular. I am glad you like the design or at least the night shots.

All this is about having a place where you can have a good time, after work or in weekends. Some use the garage as a proffesional working space, some use it just for fun, others are int the middle.
Anyway, your place is very original and you have a great car collection there!
Keep posting pics!!

OP is for "original poster", or you in this case, since you are posting this on here.

abs, don't be in fear of posting here at GJ, all kinds are welcome. I like the Minimalist look. If it works for you it works for many.

My plan on my shop and garage area is to have most of my tools in my shop behind doors and my separate garage which is attached to the house to have noting but two vehicles in it. I want a clean and white are that looks like an empty shoe box when you drive in.

I remember the Ventures, Walk Don't Run, Mr Moto, Out of Limits...

I would be afraid to walk on that floor with shoes on even!

I think your place is fantastic. Very reminiscent of Le Corbusier architecture, especially with the two LC2 chairs. I'm happy to hear the red car is Lotus! It was the only one I was a little unsure of. Are you planning to add any benches or cabinets or is it complete?

[abstamaria]

Thank you again. Yes, 993James993 (is that a reference to the Porsche model?). the house is I think what they call the international style, 1930s modern (yes, very influenced by Le Corbusier). The cars are hard to identify in the small photos. The yellow one is a 1948 MG TC, the green car next to it the 1969 Lotus Elan. That's a blue Dino 246; the red one is not very well known, a 1976 Lancia Stratos.

It is a "working" garage too, Corsario. There is a section for mechanical work. I will take a photo when that is done.

Regards,

Andres

Don't forget about that beautiful dog too!

The floor is like a mirror. What is it?

I believe it's called homogeneous tile which looks like marble. It's pretty common building material used in Europe, Asia, and Far East. Not so common in US though.

You can still see gap in OP's floor but some special procedure can be done to make them look seamless. Basically, it's just liquid filler with glossy tint for the gap and polish.
