A perfect garden, no matter what its size, should enclose nothing less than the entire universe. -Barragan

Can you find the garage?
Can you see it now?
Hidden Garage Entry
This home was built in the mid-1930s and is one of our all-time favorite garage designs. If it were raised up to ground level, this three car garage would be the first thing seen in the approach to the house. But, due to the ingenious design, it fades out of view. We are fascinated by the architect’s decision to design it as a subterranean structure. It is lovely on the back side and completely disappears from the front entry side. This design solution would be perfect for a downhill building lot.
traditions
We love looking through traditional designs of other architects past and present to glean ideas and gain inspiration. So we thought it would be a neat idea to put a bunch of our plans together into a book, gathering them into a central place for easy perusal. We hope it inspires others in the design of traditional residential architecture. Get your copy here.
