jewelry case garage
design
inspiration:The coolest garage
ever seen was in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” where a gorgeous, rare Ferrari is exhibited
like a jewel inside a suspended glass case for all to envy. This is the
inspiration for our design.
It is designed
for a successful businessperson who wants to show off beautiful cars as works
of art.
concept:Two cars are
displayed in a glowing, pure white jewelry case for all to see. They sparkle
and draw the passerby to the lines and
sensuous beauty of the cars. These are more than modes of transport. They are works
of art and an expression of success.
resolution:The cars are
raised into position with two (2) independent, electrically operated, hydraulic
vehicle lifts commonly found in the
mechanical parking lots of New York City. The lift provides a display platform
and a means to access to the car's underside for maintenance.
Garage can be
free-standing or attached. In some of the renderings we have taken the liberty
of suggesting the type of house that would complement it.materials:Garage is
constructed of four (4) pre-fabricated concrete modules, assembled on site. The
concrete consists of a blended mixture composed of 50 percent recycled
materials, which include recycled aggregates, fly ash and/or slag cements
instead of Portland cement. Titanium dioxide particles are imbedded in the mixture
of the upper box to provide a permanent white finish. As an added bonus, the
oxidation process of the titanium dioxide absorbs pollution.
Double
insulated, low-E, low iron, non-reflective glass forms transparent, frameless
views into the space.
The base of
the garage is covered in locally available stone cladding. Depicted in the
renderings is Milford Pink granite, readily available in the Northeastern
United States.
An industrial
roll-up metal door provides closure at the lower level.
eco features:The plug-in
hybrid cars have been converted to allow use of propane as an alternate fuel
source which burns far cleaner than gasoline. A storage tank is provided for
convenience of home-delivered propane.
Water for
washing the cars is pumped through a filter from a rainwater reclamation and
storage tank next to the propane tank.
Centrally
mounted vehicle lift control station has two (2) electrical cords for recharging
the hybrid cars.
LED panel
ceilings provide the glowing lighting.
Photovoltaic
solar panels, serving as an entry canopy and vertical axis helical Darius rotor
wind turbines provide electric generation. Storage batteries are located in the
centrally mounted enclosure. The large poster hides the electrical panel
boards.
A reflecting
pool provides passive evaporative cooling in warm months and also serves as
overflow from an open-loop ground-source heat pump mechanical system.
