Luxury garage
Refined multi-bay storage with architectural detailing worthy of the main house.
Garages & accessory buildings · Estate architecture
Buildings that earn their place on the property
Private garages, collector pavilions, carriage houses, and creative outbuildings designed with the same intention as the main residence. Serving Warren, Watchung, Basking Ridge, Millburn–Short Hills, and surrounding communities since 1990.
What are you creating?
Collector’s garage
Oversized bays, full-view doors, and detailing space for the cars that matter.
Workshop + garage
Power, storage, and a proper work bay — still elegant from the curb.
Creative studio
Daylight, quiet, and room to make — an intentional outbuilding for craft or music.
Carriage house
Garage below, living above — the estate classic when zoning allows.
Guest suite / ADU
Independent living with estate manners — multi-gen, guests, or rental potential.
Craft & confidence
Foundation, structure & continuity — done right
A garage or outbuilding should strengthen the property — not look like an afterthought. We plan foundation, structure, utilities, and exterior architecture as seriously as any living room.
Site & zoning first
Setbacks, coverage, and municipal rules checked before design investment so the building is buildable.
Structure & foundation
Foundations, framing, and weatherproofing sized for cars, shop equipment, climate control, or living space above.
Utilities & systems
Electrical capacity, lighting, plumbing, and optional HVAC planned for how you’ll actually use the building.
Matching the main house
Materials and massing that read as part of the estate language — not a kit shed next to a luxury home.

A luxury home with cars and hobbies overflowing the original garage — and no structure that matched the architecture.
What we did
A purpose-built multi-bay garage with workshop zone, proper power, and exterior detailing continuous with the main house.
The result
Order restored, property value reinforced, and a building the owners are proud to show.
