Buildception: Building a building to build builds within it

After reading some article on “The Facebook” about building a garage with all the accoutrement needed to field a club race car, I’ve been dreaming about building my perfect garage. I drafted out some very basic layouts on graph paper, and even got a coworker to draft up a general estimate of costs (since we’re sort of in the biz). But today, I actually stumbled upon an awesome time waster resource.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! seems to be mostly for purchasing plans for houses, but there’s a whole section for garages! I browsed through most of them, and started to get some really good ideas. Quite a few of them have an RV or boat area, but screw that…car lift and trailer! Design a little overhang on the side with a couple of trench drains to wash the car….oh man, it’ll be glorious. Most of these have a 2 nd floor with a couple of rooms, kitchen, bathroom etc. You could actually live in these things.

Unfortunately the plans and estimates are prodigiously expensive so I can’t get into the real nitty gritty. Ah well…now I just need to buy some cheap land in the middle of nowhere, and make this a reality. Maybe in 10 years.

Are these like posh prefab buildings, or are they a bit more than that? Either way, there’s plenty of garages on there I’d love to have - so many possibilities....

Shooooo I saw a barn/prefab thing with a 6 car garage for a 1st floor. The want was reeaaaal

I guess they could be pre-fabricated, but these are just for the plans. I think you’d still need to hire an architect (or expeditor) to get the plans approved by your local municipality, get all the permits etc...but it’ll probably be cheaper than getting an architect to design it from scratch.

Yea, I have a feeling most of these were never built...and if they were, I don’t see them being in the market that often
