Here Is The Problem,

you do not want an ugly garage,

 stuck on the side of your house, and you have 2 cars, what to do?

well New Zealand architect Jonathan Smith has the answer, working with a cabinetmaker he deconstruct part of this 1890s home in Auckland, then assembled a set of automatic doors as well as a moving fence to conceal a brand new garage space, all expertly retrofit into the historic structure, the result is a high-level work of camouflage, preserving the exterior look and feel of the house, inside, a lift hoists one car up to make room for a second as well,

“we wanted to retain the character from the street so we cut through the joinery units to create two doors and then lined up the boards so you wouldn’t know,” explains the designer, who is also founder of Matter Architects, what a neat idea.
