Hello, Veeky Forums, Veeky Forums here needing some help.
I have a car collection that has outgrown my garage space, and what I'm planning on doing is constructing a new building for my business and having the first floor be garage space for my cars.
You guys collect any inspiration for what a well designed large garage might look like? I have 16 cars now, so probably would like it to house ~20 cars, and include a wash bay + lift bay. The easier to drive in and out the better. Obviously capacity is going to depend on how big of a piece of land I can get that I think is smart to bank and build on.
I'd be building a commercial building "shell", so the ceilings would be significantly higher. Taller ceilings would also be required for me to have a lift.
Idea is I buy the land, building a concrete multistory building that is mostly hollow on the inside, then I use the first floor as a garage, and second and third floors for some work related things, and then if someone wants to buy it/I outgrow it in the future, a potential buyer could easily convert it into offices or apartments or whatever.

One idea I had was I liked the Porsche museums walls, which I believe in the photography world is called a cyclorama. White floor would be tough, but maybe could do black until the edges or something for some cool contrast.

Perhaps a bad use of space, but, just an idea I had.

Veeky Forums's ideal garage is the bus depot so find some pics of those.
Post collection tho.

fuck all that shit.
go big concrete
google "brutalist architecture"
in short, build a fucking bunker for those cunts. will be cost affective, time will be minimal (because pouring concrete slabs in factory is faster than putting up a frame) and it'll look awesome. also fire proof as well.
go concrete.

If you'll have a lift friendly ceiling anyway, you might as well make every bay a lift and save half the space.
