Saw this in my New Met Home magazine....

 

I start construction on my new house next year. That's definitely going to the architect!

Although it does have sort of a Cirque du Soleil-meets-DEN vibe about it.

 

Circus is right. I'd definitely pass on that one.

 

Maybe in FL, but not in New England in January.

 

I was thinking the same thing.... but as long as the glass didnt break, it would probably ice up and look pretty cool.

 

still cool but love japans garages....underground

 

Anything that has sharp beaks, claws, or teeth will wreak havoc on the tent. Not where I would want to protect my car in a heavy storm or snow either.

Cute, but I'll pass.

 

The garage is up in Manchester, in the snow belt...
I am an architect and have actually designed structures like this in florida that have been around for 10+ years with no issues - they even shoot fireworks off of one of my projects - Cranes roost stage. The birdar tensile product has a 25 year warranty and would hold up well to snow, claws etc...
Not for everyone but a very cool 'garage' just the same......and real expensive I would imagine..

Cheers

 

I wonder how difficult it would be to heat this garage?

It would seem that such a structure would not be insulated enough to retain heat well.

 

While interesting, it aint for me. I dont want the neighborhood to see all my tools, machines and messes.
